Are you looking for a lightning windshield or for a lightning classic (executioner) and do you need one or both sides?

WTF!!! :eek: $6800.00 is F'n nuts. I'm going to send my voting proxie back with a post-it note to Reggie........... You're F'n out of your mind. I just became very fond of my windshield, Thank You! Was thinking around $2500 or so, for that I would do the lower version, for $6800 I'll trade the boat. |

I have a low profile, white powdercoat from my 05 29 Fever. Not sure if it is the same. Wife wanted taller windshield so I got bent over by Reggie but not as bad as your quote. Try and find out.

So is the 29 windshield the same as the 35? |

Have you done this before? Not meaning to sound wrong here, but is this all there is to going from the regular to the short or 1/2 height windshield? |
Call Nabbers in Morris Illinois.

Yes
Yes, we have done it and it can be done. The factory can also do it.
Take a look at the 2000 42 Lightning on our site, you will see it has tall windsheild. Look again in about 2 days and you will see the one we cut down to fit. www.teamshogren.com Fountain & Baja By Fountain

Isn't the top frame going to be too short if you cut the WS shorter? By cutting the WS down, it appears the top frame will have to move forward, thus making the frame come up short on the ends.
|
Thats what I was told by another Fountain Dealer and the factory. I was told to try and buy a top rail and windows, but the factory said that wouldn't work-nothing would line-up properly. They wouldn't sell only the top rail.

Call me if interested in buying the low profile off my 05 29 Fever 206-954-2473
|
Don't forget that you also will need a new cockpit cover... And it is impossible to get that right if you order it from the factory as the buttons is very different on each one. This can be a nightmare if you want the boat to be perfect. I know all about this, believe me. For warm areas, I am sure the boat will be more fun with the low scren, but here people buy new 42s with even taller screen than the normal which is something in between the tall and low. My opinion is that the ngle is the most important, the sleeker, the better and more original Fountain-looking..........
