Need Suggestions!
 
1 Attachment(s)
I currently own a 25 foot Tantrum and am looking for suggestions. I run the boat up on Puget Sound in the Pacific Northwest, and as you can imagine, the air gets a little chilly at certain times of the year. I am looking to put a windshield on and am hoping to get some suggestions as to what anyone may have seen or experienced for themselves. I have included a picture of my boat to aid in suggestions. If anyone has a picture of their own boat with a windshield they like, I would appreciate seeing a photo. My 2 main concerns are that I want it to be affective, but at the same time, I don't want to sacrifice the styling and good looks of the boats design. Thanks for the help! Any thoughts would be appreciated......

ACTIVE THUNDER MAKES A WIND DEFLECTOR THAT WORKS GREAT!
I HAVE IT ON MY THUNDER. IT DEFLECT THE WIND ABOVE MY HEAD. LIKE RIDING IN A CONV.

Yes, flip up deflectors work well and there are many kinds. They wouldn't change your boats looks like a windshield will.

I have a 28 with the lexan deflecter. It works fairly well but if you want a lot of protection you should be able to get a taller version. Mine sticks up about two inches and you can't even see it. I would think if they could make one that sticks up four inches or so it would work well without taking away from the boat.

I will talk to Pat or Bosco. I am sure that they can steer you in the right direction. It will probably mount behind the crash pad, so there is a bit of work to install but it will look great. I would try and apply some type of silicone after it is installed so that no water or chit gets stuck between the windshield and the fiberglass.

You have a great boat in the 25.

to keep the boat looking kool and yourself..wear a helmet! You can be just cruisin' for a race!

They can make you one out of Lexan I am sure. Give Pat a shout at the factory.
