if you make the boat a sit down boat with short bolsters and add a winscreen it may work,, stand up,, no way.. my 27 Carrera is about as short and only way to get out of wind is to crouch down in seat and I have a 12" deflector on to of my normal winscreen.

Good point, a sit-down 28 would be the ticket.

In his defense he didn't mention Apache this time! LOL

And for once he actually has a valid point. :party-smiley-004:

LOL, I started to, but this guy probably needs a windshield on the 28 Apache too. I think the difference in freeboard is atleast a foot maybe foot and a 1/2. It would be much easier to modify the fairing on a 28 Apache, AT, or Sonic. All you would need is a simple clear lexan lip to come up maybe 6-8 inches on the top of the fairing. Lots of cigarettes and other boats that have the lexan windshield on top of the fairing. I'm going to add one eventually. I've seen it done on a 28 apache. Here is a pic of a very unique 28 Apache. I think its a single engine composite boat.

I guess if you had to make a windscreen on a 28 Pantera I'd scrap the fairing and add two quarter canopies. It would also have to be a sit down. I'd kind of like to see that......

Sunsation can build a 28 with a windshield. Rare but you can find a used Sunny with one.

Here is a pic for reference. I am sitting and my freind is standing in the passenger bolster. We are both about 5'10".

Looks like that pic was taken from the infamous "Patriot Games". I'm guessing Von Bongo was still the owner at that point in time.
