Fountain sells them for $8000!

mcprodesign (member on here, but in cali)either cut his down or knows someone that did. You actually have to make the top rail longer to make the windshield shorter.



Doesn't look easy, but if you have success getting it done local let me know, I would like mine done as well, you first though

Either there are a few guys local who want to cut down their windshield....................or their is one guy, putting out lots of feelers ?

Having had a standard height on my 2003, and now a low height on the 2009, I would stay a couple inches higher than the low height when cutting one down. It would be more effective to direct wind over your head than the low one (when seated) and yet be tall enough to look through it when seated also.
Miss that standard height windshield when it is cool or raining.
The tall is way too tall, the low is a little too low, and the standard seems just a little too high.
Go halfway between low and standard and it will look and function well. Yes, the top rail would need to be customized to do this.

Splitting the difference in heights between these two boats would be ideal.
