Windhield, install or not?
 
2 Attachment(s)
Last weekend we got pretty beat up in the rain, like hundreds of B-B's on my face and chest.. so I got some windshields.
In Fla rain is like the wind, comes and goes.

Install ? no? just wondering of the oppinions about appearence, looks. (sorry for the louzy pix, phone cam)

I have 2 "windaway" clamp on windscreens.......I also bought a cheap helmet with a full clear face sheild that I stash on the boat in case of rain......both have been rain tested and work fine.

It's a good lookin boat I think the windshields take away from it. Those might look ok on a two-up snowmobile:grinser010:

So I should leave it alone then? Actually I thought they look pretty good, but I figured I ask good olee' OSO before drillng holes.

I would go with a short windshield all the way across the front with a lip to kick it up over your head. Not crazy about the windscreens in the pictures. But what do I know ... I have a Velocity with a big ugly windsheild.........but it works.:grinser010:

I can't do a winshield across. I wish I could, but there is a "dip" in the center and also a hatch that opens up. The boat is a windshieldless design. :) Al I can do is two windhields. I can get different types but I thought the blue, curved would be the best option. THe jury is still out baes on the feedback
BTW.. I'm from Rockford to. Keith alum, 75. (did I just admit to the year?? ) We need to talk some more later..

Aero Marine in California can do just about anything possible in the way of windscreens. Why not send them those pics so they can determine the best shape and size for your boat. They can probably even drop the center down to block the wind coming through your center deck. After seeing their work on other boats(Donzi, Eliminator, Nordic, Skater), I'm convinced they can do anything.

BTW is that the Infinity or the Avanti?

I like them...maybe a little wider and not as tall though. But I think they would look great on that hull. Do you have the flip up windscreens? If so will the new shields cover them?
