Windsheild replacement????
 
Ive searched but i cant find an answer to this question. Can you add the race fairing in place of the plexiglass windshield on a 35 Executioner? If you can what is the approximate cost of this, and where do you go to get it done?
Thanks

Yes it can be done. Call Fountain HQ and ask for customer service and ask them for a dealer in your area that they would recommend for the job. They can also give you a price on the fairing. Phone: 252-975-2000


I went from a race fairing to a windshield on my 38 fever and I think it cost around 2500 after labor. For some reason I think the fairings are more.

I had mine re-made at airplane plasctics in dayton ohio. The guy is awesome and does crazy work!

zitoracing... what did you use to paint it and how did it come out?

I broke the door into my cabin last year (rather, someone else broke it). I glued it back together but I want to paint it to hide the crack. My dash is white, so I want to paint the doors to the cabin and the glovebox door white to match. personally, I like the old-school look of the black windshield and hatch on the bow.

Call Capt Nabbers and ask for Tom , 1 815 941 1546, he made the one on Sommer Flies By . The red 35 from the Chicago Power Boat Club

Epeek, who is on this board did just what you are talking about, he is located in NY. I bought his old windshield for my 35 to replace my broken windshield. Maybe he will answer your questions or you could IM him.

Yep. Had mine done a Fountain. (was in for warranty work) cost about 3k. installled. Pretty easy to
do yourself if you have one shipped.

Sommersfliesby,
What was the cost of your wind screen and did it come painted or did yoy paint it yourself ? Been thinking of painting the Plexi windscreen on my 42X or having a race fairing made. My wind screen would be White.

i am very curious as well, I want to do the same

I bought the boat with the screen...previous owner had it done. Nabbers took a cast off the stock tinted-glass screen and made his own and gelled it. He's still got the mold sitting at the shop and his prices are usually reasonable.

I got the estimate from fountain. $3660 plus installation. Shipping to new york was $500. Painting the windsheild is looking good.

epeek 03-25-2008 09:28 PM

500 for shipping! Where do they come up with that
price! I sent my windshield from here to Dkahnjob in
California for 200 bucks & they packaged it for me.

I took a plexiglass windshield off for a customer and installed the race faring on a 1995 35. The race faring cost about 3700.00 plus 600.00 shipping to CA but was easy to install and turned out great.

I am considering painting the windshield on my 32 Fever. How many of you have painted your windshields? Are you glad that you did it? How much did it cost? Please post some pictures.
Thanks!
