Race Fairing
 

Did the 1985 mistress that I have offer a race fairing instead of the windshield. I like the look of the race fairing over the windshield with the wind deflectors. I was wondering if the ones I have seen on the flat decks and mistresses were homeade jobs? Maybe someone on OSO has one for sale

Re: Race Fairing
 

My '85 fairing is factory w/ race hatches #3s. Not selling but can help you out anyway you need with measurements, patterns etc. Let me know.

Race hatches and rear stand-up bolsters :)

Nice Pictures, I am going to poke around and see if anyone has one laying around. If not, it may be a winter project. I like the way yours looks. I want to keep it the same size as my windsheild now because I just got all new sunbrella. I think I would be ok with the flip up windscreens.

Is that Reggie in a CIG in the first pic :eek: :D :D :D :D

Re: Race Fairing

:cool: Thanks TSG :cool:

Re: Race Fairing
 

I think my fairing is much higher/taller than the windshield is. It's like 12"-13" tall. Yup, sure would be a shame to waste all that sunbrella! :D :D :p But I'm here if you need me ... BTW sweet 'new' rig too :cool:

Re: Race Fairing
 

Well, I am starting to fall in love with the windshield since I don't want to screw up my new canvas work. Oh well, thanks for the help.

Re: Race Fairing
 

Cool cigrocket ... Curious, what's yours have for power and drives?

Re: Race Fairing
 

I have a pair of 540s they make just over 690HP They are new last year, they have about 45 hours I have them with a rev limiter (5000). The TRS drives. Spinning a pair of mirage 25s. They shift smooth but I worry about how long they will last. I don't run wot so I am hoping for them to last a long time.

Nice NA engines, Konrads baby! Bend the sticks :D :evilb: :eek:

Re: Race Fairing

Re: Race Fairing
 

Here were the two fairing/windshield options in 1984. Which one would you choose?

1. Our old 35 Mistress
2. My cousin David's 35 Mistress

Re: Race Fairing
 

As much as I like fairings, I really prefer the windsheild in this case.

Re: Race Fairing
 

my buddy painted his winshield to match the color of his hull and screwed in wind deflectors if you didnt know it you would think it was a fairing

Re: Race Fairing
 

There's an idea cigrocket ... and you can still save the Sunbrella too :D :evilb:

Re: Race Fairing
 

I had to take a double look at the above picture since that looks so much like my boat minus the windshield. Painting I guess could be an option. The glass in my winshield is lexan or plexi anyway tinted slightly. I am sure it would paint even.

Re: Race Fairing
 

cig rocket send me your email address and i will send some pics of a michigan mistress.

Re: Race Fairing
 

Back in the day, I ran in an A-Class 30' Mirage. We took the widshield glass out and installed composite panels in the frame. It worked well and looked cool. I am a fan of race fairings, however I feel your boat looks awesome with a windshield on it.
Just my .02 :drink:
