Look for a picture of my 32 and you will know what to do. it's the Talk-n-Trash 32 that did 172.3 mph. I don't know how to post pics or I would but I'm sure you can find it.

Hey thanks A-Z . While I somewhat agree with ya activatorf1 smaller boats tend to have a sleek look without the burden of a windshield but if done right it can be pretty trick looking. Well I think so anyway

Brad at shields can make one for you. But your on your own for
installation support.

You may want to try Aeromarine out in California She may be able
to hook you up.

I like the look of the full windshields myself. Go for it.

I think we ended up with a 30 degree sweptback angle.
Its in this angle which makes all the difference in the profile view.

Most likely you own a 32 A , and why not some type of manual wind deflector instead of a windshield or maybe mach up a windshield just to see if you like the way it would look on the boat or maybe even go with a hydraulic deflector that raises and lower's with the touch of a button .

yes it was 30 degrees but we made about 6 different templates to look at the profile and 30 was it.[ should I bring some superglue for tuesday]:party-smiley-004:

Might look a little "'stubby" but at 170+ I'll take it like that. Without a w/s your neck would get tired of bracing against the wind even if you wore a helmet.

My Carlson had just a very short fairing which was no protection at all at 100+. I bought a helmet which helped a lot even at 70-90.

Good-lookin boat Jimmy. :)

Go with a windshield! I love mine. You can actually talk to the person next to you at 100. Id go with one like on talkintrash looks great. Mine is similar

Brad Zastrow 12-06-2009 04:01 PM

1/4 canopies are nice on the 32. Any speeds north of 100 mph for even a short time without windshields gets real old.

OK................ Running 172+.............I think a windshield would be good!!!! This 32 looks really good with the windshield but mine ('94) I don't think would look nearly as nice................

waterboy222 01-27-2010 07:49 PM

I originally was going to post "Noooo! Don't do it!" but after reading thru this thread, I think it kinda comes down to what "kind" of screen ur putting on. I prefer a little wind in my face, cheeks flapping bikini tops ripping off and the deafening roar of the wind. Plus the fact that you feel like you're running 300mph at 110mph. BUT a 32 that is running over 130 without a screen would dn near be impossible to enjoy. So do whatever you like, but do it right and do it quality. I wouldn't even consider a 32 with a crappy screen on it, but updating it to Canopus or split windows would upgrade the looks and downgrade the experience. (for me)
But I can also understand wanting to wear a hat at 100 and talk to your friends.

TomAto, TomAHto.

Canopus? Why the HELL my iPhone corrects "canopies" to "Canopus" is beyond me. But you get what I'm sayin.
