Race Fairing or Smoked Wind Screen
 
Ok, here is the quesion I need help with: I am looking at replacing my current factory windscreen on my '95 Fountain and I have been told 2 different ideas. 1, replace the current smoked windscreen with a new but same look from factory windscreen. Or 2, replace the current smoked windscreen with a new white race fairing. What do you all think, keep the original look or go with a new look?? Help!!!!

:D :D :D :D :D

I vote for the smoked plexiglass wind screen. my budy has one on his 27 and I would not trade it for the wind sheild or the race faring.

Race fairing.

I have a 1997 fountain that came with the smoked wind screen. I replaced it with the race fairing, looks much cooler!! Keep us posted.

I'd update it, the race faring looks really clean.

Go with the fairing. It will update the boat, give close to the same protection and look really cool (which is all that matters anyway:D ) You can't see out of the smoked glass anyway so you are losing nothing there. Plus the glass will scratch and may break. You can also put a cool Fountian sticker on the fairing which looks cool also.:D :cool:

Does anyone have a used, damaged...in need of repair...used fairing they want to get rid of?...let me know.....Fred

Quich question , are you replacing the windscreen becuase it broke or ??? do they hold up well or not?? If they don,t hold up go with the fairing. Which I,m sure Reggie is letting slip thru his hands a a really LOW LOW price.

IDRPSTF 10-23-2002 12:07 PM

Fred, I have a Fairing for a 97 or newer 42' in great condition for $8,500OBO.

Go for the race fairing, looks better and don't have worry about cracking the windscreen, should last longer and not spider either. Had a 2000 35' windscreen and was starting to show wear.

Windscreen,

I love the way the windscreen looks on the 35 and 42 Fountians. And you can see through the smoked windscreen.

Race Fairing (just saw the original glass)

Here's a shot of it before the latest work. Can anyone do some work with photoshop to see what it would look like??
