Windscreen Question
OK here,s the deal I am in the market for a new/used boat maybe a 26 prowler, the boat I have now has a windshiel and we boat in the northeast ( NOT always warm) Do you guy,s know of a windshield that can be put on a prowler?? it may be a deal breaker as far as my wife is concerned.
Any help would be great, also What is the interior width of the back seat, how tight is four across the back?

Sonic makes a clear windscreen. I have seen it on other boats; but not a 26' Prowler. I am 6'2" and the wind does hit me when standing, but does not affect me. When I am at speed-driving postion, tucked a bit with my feet upon the angled foot support, I am not blown by the wind at all.
Two suggestions:
Contact Jay at the factory, and see what he can make for you. You DO NOT want a 'Formula looking' windshield and frame on this boat. It will RUIN the lines. The windscreen is a viable option, especially if a taller one can be made, in either clear plexiglass.
Check out www.windaway.com
This is a product that I have looked at. It looks very functional, and I have seen them in action, and it works. It also comes off, and does not ruin the looks of the boat. There are actually a few companies that make this type of sheild.

Also, is she worried about her hair or her eyes? If it is just the eyes, buy a pair of:

-Sidecars- model.
They are fantastic at keeping the wind out of your eyes. I wear contacts at speed, and have never had a problem.

Offshore Performance in Grasonville, MD is having an open house this weekend. Call Frank and see if they are going to have or can have a Prowler in the water.

Do you have any photos?? Would love to see it. We have our sights set on a 31', took one out for a demo on Sunday and wind was a factor. I'm 6' 2" tall and it's not as deep as the 35' we tested, tighter driver area.... Have to sell our boat and extra trailer we have first....
