I think they were a Livorsi closeout. They are just like what was on older Top Guns. I did have my fairing all re-gel coated and there was no LOGO on the fairing. Here is a better pic.

Hmmm..those aren't bad Griff. Problem is I would have to lose the Pantera logo...which I wasn't tii crazy about anyway. Would rather have the eyes instead. Maybe that will work??

Hey Paul. She's mine for now. As for props, ran MR lab bed 30s and put the throttle up 28s away towards the end of the season. Saw my best speed with the MR 30's

I had them on before I had the fairing re gel coated and had the standard logo all the way across. It didn't look right. I always meant to get a smaller logo made to go between them.

Why don't you just get two pieces of 1/8" lexan and attached them to the back of the fairing. You can rivet nut insert and use thumb screws to extend them when you need it and retract it when you don't. If I still have my boat by summer that is what I am going to do.

I looked at doing that. The 2 problems I saw was not having any room behind the helm to be able to mount them and the second was that the angle was not vertical enough to divert the wind upward.

I have a set of flip-ups like shown in Griff's picture. If I get something else made you can have them, might be spring before I get it done though.
