We can do a custom windshield on a new 28' instead of the solid fiberglass fairing and with the lowered footwells it does make a big difference when you drop down into them. We can even lower the entire cockpit floor.

If not the enclosed canopy mold is still here put away.

I was on 41 ft APACHE 'race' boat doing mid 80s.
I was up to my armpits in bolsters. Never been deeper in a boat.
Lots of wind in my face and couldn't see w/o glasses.

It would be easier to a bimini w/ full enclosure and lose a 'few' mph.
