WTB or WTT Low Profile Frame Windshield 27 Fountain
 
I have a 2000 27 Fountain with the tall frame windshield. I'm looking for the low profile frame windshield that came on the newer 27s. Best I can tell, the 27s stayed the same so it will fit. Any one have one for sale or would like to trade for mine and cash?

Did you call Darin Bean about cutting yours down?

I did a couple years ago. He said he can't cut don't tempered glass. That's what my windshield is.

Ah, yeah - we've talked about that situation before, I think. You can't cut tempered glass.

Any other options? From what I gathered from others, Fountain doesn't get in any hurry and their prices are steep.

Probably what you don't want to hear - but if you want a Fountain with a short windshield, then my suggestion is to buy one that has it already. The $7000 or so that you will spend on a new one from Fountain will likely result in zero $ when you do decide to sell. It just doesn't make sense (to me). We went from a 27 to a 35 - it is a much different and better ride, all around.

You boat at Cumberland right?? If so, you need a 35. LOL Good luck, buddy.

I figured that's what I was going to run into...
I agree, I would love to have a 35. My driveway and garage isn't ready for one though lol.
If I find the right deal on a newer 29, I'll snatch one up and put my power in it. If you know of any with the low profile windshield and a steel trailer let me know!
I go to Cumberland typically 3 times a year. Raft up, poker run, and a random weekend.

Can you PM me his number? I have a friend with an Eliminator that wants to see if he can cut down his bubble windshields.
