I'm sure someone will post a pic of it before long. The windshield worked great and it seemed like it improved the attitude of the boat . At 90 mph or so it had a flat stable ride instead of the slightly nose high attitude that I remember. Could of been the 300s I put on replacing the 2.5s but it runs and rides great with no wind in the face. The 27 percent light transmittance dark grey I used looked cool but it was to dark for the open cockpit 28. I'll make some new clear ones for LOTO weekend so we can see better through them and have less glare. Then I'll make a light gray tint for the final configuration. Light bronze is available as well depending on your preference. We can put windshields on practically any boat.

Thanks again for everything !! The event was unbelievable and over the top.

I am very happy to have been a part and want to thank you for reminding me weekly so I wouldn't back out on coming up to participate.

Also, additional thanks for ruining my small boating dreams with VERY large ones after the wheel time on the new 368 !

You, Pete and the entire team nailed the perfect do-everything boat package.

See you again soon.

Congrats on another great skaterfest Ron !!! I'm so happy for you. I truly am.

There is not one single day that goes by that my heart does not bleed missing my offshore friends.

Jimmy,
I am sure the windshield is the reason for helping it run flatter. The motors are heavier than the 2.5's so that would only add to the bow up attitude. The boat is beatiful and looks awesome. Would love to see a spread on it with some interior shots and of it up close. Also now you just need to change those cowlings and get the Mike Nass 300x style to keep the water out of the motors with some custom color matching decals!
Nice job

I agree with the color match Merc decals. I have the fonts, and the cutter, if anyone needs some cut (just pay for materials and shipping).
