Nice cant wait to see it ! Just a tip , a fairing you look over and a winshield you look through. Look @ this mess

those flaps do work good though if you can keep them from folding back on you

this one will come up just a bit, not enough to reduce speed but enough to cut the wind out

Although I have yet to drive my 32 ( hopefully this summer ) I have driven in a few 32 and for example my sightline is just even with the top of FAIRING , why not simply lower the seats on the 28 to help out ?

that's a little to tall anyway IMO. I have after market set up as well that was on it when I purchsed , hell i've only been out onece so far :cartman:...works but not the best looking either.

If your sight line is even with the top off your fairing.......Good luck seeing anything in rough water......Waves,debris, traffic.....worst yet an idiot swimmer.

I will wait to see what comes out and if it is more or less a bolted on lexan I will step up and make a windshield that will have a lower frame that will get painted boat color and the frame itself will have an MTI look . Anything that the lexan just bolts to fairing will look like crap and bayliner like . It will have a painted post and much shorter than this pic but you get the idea

you would be surprised what a 2" fairing does for wind buffering and shouldn't block field of view, will have something to show next week, tweaking the design a little today

Reading that that gets back to my earlier post in which you just sit lower in boat . Why not lower seat or a little bit of foam if all your doing is adding a fairing ? My point is adding anything to the seck weather a w/s or fairing is comprimising looks so if all your doing is adding a 2 inch fairing in which you still have to view over why not keep it simple and lower seats ?

not much in the seats to lower, but the dynamics are different then just lowering yourself into the boat. Idea is to try to deflect the wind just enough over your head but not so much to slow the boat down.

always a compromise

I lowered my seats and really like it better. I have a straighter view down the bow and can see when the front end of the boat gets to high quicker. IMO. also gets me out of the wind more.
