New White rubrail, Do I keep the Black windshield??
 
I just installed the white rubrail, do I keep the black windshield or go to white with it as well? Give me an opinion.

I like the fiberglass windscreen look myself.

bigboat28 08-14-2008 03:18 PM

Your boat looks nice.

Panterafreak 08-14-2008 03:20 PM

Thanks, it is comin along. Did you ever figure anything out on that Pant 28 up north? The one with Blue trim.

bigboat28 08-14-2008 04:30 PM

No not yet still thinking about it.

Temporarily mask out the Black plexi with some white tape and paper, then take a few pics and post so we can compare them. It looks pretty nice the way it is now.

go white

Panterafreak 08-14-2008 07:53 PM

Now why didn't I think of that. I will do it this weekend. Thanks for compliment. Anyone know who make the fiberglass windscreens?

you might find a white window film. I'm sure some white vinal (sp) can be stuck to the out side of the glass and then trim it up.
custom auto shop maybe.

DON'T TOUCH IT!!!!!!
It looks badazz as it is.
It also ties into the color of your docking lamps.
Just a touch of color/accent. (Geez, that sounded like Christopher Lowell on boats..., and NO, I don't have a high pitched voice or a lisp...)
If you go completely white, it starts to get the refrigerator look.
Humor yourself (and us) and tape some paper over the glass.
I think it looks great, and wouldn't fool with it any further.

I think you should leave it. Remember its a windshied, not a fairing. My old python had a windshield very similar. I think you will be suprised at how much you'll look through it.

Leave it!
:eek:

Panterafreak 08-16-2008 05:03 PM

I am thinking it is going to stay black. Gives the boat kinda a jet cockpit look. Especially seeing the photoshop pic. It also keeps the boat looking it's age. I am proud of my OLD boat. I would say it is as solid as one right off the line. Jo and Pepe build em right, that is for sure.

I had no intention to hi-jack this into a refrigerator thread.
Hi-jacks just seem to follow me wherever I go.

I am too.
There is something much cooler about a piece of history than there is about a boat that just came out of the mold.

Since I started the thread, and added to the deviation, I guess we all can live with hi-jacking. It is funny how someone will post comment or pics and other members have nearly identical interests, hobbies and collections! Talking about being cut from the mold!

onesickpantera 08-17-2008 05:44 PM

I agree with leaving it. Strictly for looks cause anyone with a 24 knows you will never look through it! LOL

Panterafreak 08-17-2008 05:48 PM

well, I can't see through anyway. it is solid black plexiglass. I am 6'2" and can easily see right overit. I was really in limbo if it would look better all white or like it is. I think most popualr opinion is to leave it. Thanks to all who sent there 2 cents.
