97 35 Fountain Windshield
Anyone had any luck replacing their windshield through Fountain? If not - do you guys know of anyone making them?
Have any of you guys gone from the windshield with the "lip" to one without? If so, did you notice a difference in where the wind hits you?
Thanks for the help.

I had one custom made last year without the lip and 1in shorter. The wind in the face wasn't bad at all. If i was to do it again I still would have it cut down a inch but put a 1in tall lip at the top just for strength, as it scares me some times when jumping waves. It looks like it's going to brake from it flexing.

I thought I would pass along an update -
I contacted the folks at Fountain. Nice people (hard to get in touch with) very knowledgable right up until I was ready to order it. Then the shocker - and price wasn't it. They told me they don't have any of the material to make the windshield. I was in shock to say the least - are they not building boats? They said it will be weeks before they can get it made. I hope I don't have to wait because LOTO is in less than 2 weeks. I may be screwed.
I spoke with Carmen at Aero-Marine, also sent her pictures of what I have and need. I understand she is probably very busy - but no response.
Found some folks in Tulsa that can make the Windshield, VERY pricey so I am looking into what Oklahoma City Glass can do as well.
