New style Cig windshield
 

Got the jig back today to make the new style windshields, approx 75" long x 4 1/2 at the ends that taper up to 6 1/2 in the middle. (3/8" thick) Will have the brackets back from powdercoating at the end of the week, and the small upholstered pad that slides in between the dash and windshield.
Will post pics. Can make them for $850.00 for the complete set. let me know

Interested, but that is same price I've been quoted for complete kit.
Will the w/s be clear or smoked?

It can be either smoked or clear. I made the jig for the plexiglass, I am going to talk with the glass guy today to see what his botom line will be to make them. I am hoping to only pay in the 600.00 range for everything. Give me a few days to complete the set up.
I will send you a set when they are done to see if you want it, if you do you pay for it... if you dont , you can just send it back

I'd be interested on seeing how the finished product turns out. Post some pictures when you get it back!!

Ok. Maybe I can be your guinea pig and post pix of my installation?
I guess the expensive part is the bent metal bar? The plexi is not expensive.

I paid $100 for a replacement WS, cut down, drilled and sanded. I think it was 1/2" material. I paid, $200 to have my brackets (and a pile of engine parts) power coated. So the aluminum fabrication must me in the $500 range. Probably a bit high.

pictures please

Is this the same w/s that is used on a 46 RR ?? If so, I need one in smoke tint. The one I have, has a crack in the outside mounting hole, where it's screwed down.

Tanner did your flip ups have the turn latches to keep them in the down possition, what are you going to do with those holes, Does the new windsheild cover up the holes in the deck where the flip ups used to be

The new winshield bracket lines up right over the old holes. The holes are already threaded, so it saves alot of time trying to put a nut on them.
I am having the boat painted, so I am just filling in the holes where the lock downs were. I If I wasnt' going to be painting, I would have just put back in some short screws and all you would see is 3 stainless heads flush with the deck.

Just got it back from the plastics shop. Brackets on there way back also.

looking good

Looking forward to seeing the whole set-up complete and cost

It will still be a few weeks away as I am just waiting for the boat to come back from paint.
Will post as soon as it is installed.

Same.

Tanner -

Any new word on the windshield?

I'm thinking about getting rid of those flaps. Never liked them much.

I have everything now, I am just waiting for the boat to get back from paint so I can install it. I will then post some more pics.

Please let me know when you have it complete, I would love to check it out.

How is this project coming ? I am adding an intercom system and really need to cut down on all the air coming over the deck.

Very interested.

Hi Doug !

Hi Paul, Your up pretty early for being at Lake Cumberland Poker run or haven't you been to bed yet ? :drink: :drink: :drink:

Hey Doug....where you been hiding? How's the boat running?

How is the paint work coming, is it close to be being done ?

Close.... lets just say contractors in Florida are ahead of schedule compared to this project. However, the end product will be worth it, just started laying the vinyl on the boat for the graphics ( no it is not vinyl graphics) they do it to as a footprint to what is being painted. I figure it should be done by christmas (2007) seriously, hoping to be out of paint in 2 weeks and then 1 week to install all interior. I would post more pics , but it is all taped up and nothing to show. I will snap a picture of it in the paint shop tomorrow and post it so so everyone does not think I am BS !!

you need to use lexan instead of plexi-----plexi is gonna crack and scratch like crazy

Yes lexan for sure.
