The glass is approximately 8" tall but when youl lay it back it makes it about 6' tall.
Noli, I will post some pics of the whole thing complete. The other pictures I took with my phone did not come out clear. They ere a little blurry.
Thanks for all the compliments.

Just got a new cockpit cover made with the windshield in place. Anyone need a factory 28 skater cockpit cover in mint condition let me know. I have one for sale.
All remaining parts dropped off at the painter today.

Looks like a very well made solid piece. Good job!

I really like the look! What seals the acrylic to the boat to seal out water and keep it from vibrating and possibly chaffing gelcoat ?
small strip of felt of rubber bonded to lower edge ?
How much do the charge for it ?

Larry,
We hand fit the Acrylic to the boat and when it is bolted in place you can't slide a piece of paper under it with the addtional brackets I made. I do not expect it to vibrate at all. With that being said I tape it off and seal it to the deck with white silicon so that water will not get under it and have a real clean edge with no visible sealer.
I would defer the pricing of the kit to Carmen at Aero Marine. Keep in mind that what you see with mine is not quite the same as what they offer. Their side panels are shorter.

Ok thanks . Is it more than 1000.00 ?

Yes If anyone is interested I would call for a quote.

I am curious if that windshield helps make the back seat a little more liveable in these boats. Looks awesome. good wind protection is what the 28 really needed.
