Only other issue would be salt water on the windshield.... Need lots of rainx or will have to come up with washer system next.

just run in fresh water :p

After 25 years of me and my BS she is way too smart for that!
Actually she is a great copilot.

But seriously a windshield with good lines would be great I appricate everyone's effort.

I was thinking someone said they didn't like the flat plexi with the heavy corner brackets ??

Saw that pic on FB, looks like the windshield a guy in AZ had custom made for his 28. His 28 also had no rubrail, I believe it was for sale on OSO a while back.

Same windshield Joe from DBR has on his triple 28. His dad made those brackets. They had three sets and his friend got one of them. Nice find on the video. Looks like it needs to be a little higher. I am talking to Bob at Latham Marine about making some brackets as a back up plan. I did the template today and will overnight To Aero tomorrow. I am hopeful she will come up with something good. I think it should carry back past he front seat to make it look sleek. I think this will change the interest in the 28 a allow you to cruise at 85mph with ease!

guy I made the windscreen for said the wrong height really affects the ride alot, so it seems that it would have to rake far back and be tested for its possible affect on the handling of the boat.

what effect did it have. Slow down?

the longer and farther back it goes you would think it should put a little more down force on the hull, that would affect the pressure in the tunnel too. less bow lift?????
