Well if it cheers you up $1,400.00 is probably the down payment for one now?
My 2000 29ol came with the clear windscreen stock, and I purchased a lightly smoked colored one from a Doug Smith edition leftover stock item. I sold the boat after putting the clear one back on, and the smoked one sits in my basement. Hey, I am richer than I thought?

Yes, It is a "helluva thing".... but you know the old saying...pigs get fed...hogs get slaughtered.... JMO. If we (one of us, me whoever) were smarter we would take the fairings off our boats and bring them to someone to make a mold out of....and go into the aftermarket business of selling them...."then" you can make more money by selling at a fair price rather then sticking it to somone on a one off. JMO.

I offered up mine a couple times to members to do this. I'm open to the idea. I know where we can find a couple windscreens for various boats and have a place that will make them. The problem is the front cost for the mold. Hit me up if this is something you'd be interested in.

I like where this is going.... 
Depending on the cost(s) I am open to the idea. Unfortunately my pockets have gotten a little more shallow as of late with the purchase of the boat and another venture I am involved in.... But depending on cost I think it is a heck of an idea....
And you are correct.....us powerboaters will spend money on anything....who ever thought of paying to put neon lights in a boat...or under water for that fact...now everyone is doing it....freaking $15-20 bucks for cupholders..."A" cupholder...yeah, we all have issues...but I like it!
**Although the news I just heard on some cost figures...and puts it out of this poor mans hands for now.....

I had owned the boat about 1 month at the time. Oh yeah, I had told the little schit to slow down on the drinking about 3 times already. Its ok though, he said he'd pay for it. Of course in 3 years he's only given me $50 but I'm sure its coming. Saw the POS a few weeks ago, he turned around and hauled azz the other way. Gets me pissed just thinking about it.
