Hey OldSchool, did you end up buying a new windscreen? I'd be curious how much it cost. Mine broke over the winter right where one of the screws attaches it. Straight break perfectly vertical, I guess it was stressed at that attachment point for some reason.

The military stuff is not turtlewax... I don't know what it is but I wish I had more. A friend of mine back in San Diego painted F-14's and F-18's at NAS North Island. He gave me a pint of military plastic polish that they use on the canopys. Stuff was like water but did miracles. very little rubbing at all and it took out all kinds of scratches. Those fancy headlight refresh kits ,,, this stuff would take the worst headlight and make it look like new with no more rubbing than you would do waxing a car.

Just had one made for mine $120 up her in Harrisburg Pa. they did polish and chamfer the edges, and angle the back bottom edge, it is 3/8 thick, I did not have them drill the holes I wasn't finish painting the frame,, when I gave them the pattern for the for the windscreen, or they would have drilled the holes also....

they would of drilled it for me, but I didn't have the holes drilled in the frame I made yet, so I didn't have them in the pattern I gave to them, when your drill plastic just have to drill it slow and keep it cool....if you want there number let me know, I'm sure they have tinted or can get it, hell they even made and machined and drilled the plastic step plates/cupholders on the sides of the seats, and the step plates on the top of the gunwale, they charged me about $250 to make all 6 of those pieces...Just to let everyone know, I'm not a salesman for these guys, just in the process of rebuilding my boat, and when good price come along, (and that's far and few between in this hobby) I figure I should let my Cig brothers know....Joe
