This formula has been the best boat i have owned so far.I figured it would end the discussion of oh nice boat but I want a windsheild or vice versa.But honestly for the coin I may not bother.Anyone know who makes them for formula?????

Re: windsheild 382
We had a shattered port side on a tie up @ Glencove Formula Rendezvous LOTO. What a nightmare.. 
you would'nt believe the glass slivers everywhere. Thanks to selpel @ the event, he aranged a shop vac & drop cord etc . so I could clean up... main thing - no one hurt! 4-6 weeks to make a replacement! Enter Glencove Marine - for some reason a port side SS panel was sitting in their storage rack (less the top frame - small detail to become larger detail later). Simply take mine off switch top frames and reinstall..no problem for a plumber that knows too much - right? Wrong. Ended up having Glencove finish it for me. Lost 4 weeks, but hey it could of been 6.
Port panel $1200.
Riding with friends priceless
hey - I did say thanks, did'nt I Selpel.
The whole thing intact should be no problem!

Re: windsheild 382
Hey Guys, I have knowen Trips2win for a lotta years and his love of Formula cannot be matched(unless by me) and no one takes more pride in their boat then him and his wife. He took the broken windsheild in stride(at least in public) and still enjoyed the event. I think I will start a post asking people just how many Formula`s they and their kin have owned to date. What do you think?
