Those 1/2 windshields are the bomb!

Thanks! The boat dosent look goofy to me anymore.

I got a used old repainted short windshield we are going to sell to recover some of the money for the factory installed $8000 plus job.

Looks great, been thinking about doing the shorter one on mine.

Are you serious on the $8000.00? What is involved in changing it out? I made a couple little adjustments to mine last winter and it was just screws, out and back in.


One more here, what does that run with the 700's in it?

The nice thing about paying the doe for a factory install is when or I should say if you ever have a problem.........i have made mistakes in the past to save a buck and it ended up casting me 2 times as much

You will be dam glad you let the factory do this job.

The windshield was $6000 and you have to repair all the glass were the old wholes were plus labor

Dam! boat looks brand new

That is a great look. Would love to replace my original windshield, but $8,000? Guess, I'll just have to admire yours!
