I do have the sport deck with the V type windscreen/windshield. Mario's is also a "V" - I'm thinking they were less common, but don't know for sure.
I intend to replace, but not sure at this point. Mario should be close to his V- smoked plexi, modeled after the the 24' banana.

I am close! I have finally bent and cut the forward Vee section of the new black lexan windshield.
Bending was easy! Establishing the correct shape to cut the whole forward section from was the biggest challenge. I now have a template and am happy to share that with anyone.
Then fitting it to the deck . . the vee raised portion is not equal port to starboard, no surface is straight, so I had to shape the lower edge to match the curved profile. The whole vee section will be fastened to the deck with a teak rail that I will screw and seal to the deck, and then fasten the lower forward edge of the lexan to that. These fasteners will be with snaps so that a full cockpit cover can be secured.
Pics soon!

I find it utterly amazing that there is something about a Magnum, to which you have no knowledge.
The sun will not raise in the east, tomorrow.
The earth is doomed.

Franks looked just like Jeff's, but had the pointed windshield. Terry's Mag could be the SUPER SCREW, or ??? Lee is Terry still around the area ??? And there was another purple Mag too, Judas Priest.
