Skater 28 Wind Deflectors
 

Here is what I came up with for what I wanted to protect me from the wind in my 28. They do a great job of getting the wind off your face/ears at 100+ mph, and you still have the full functionality of a true open cockpit boat (sit on the sides at rest, get up over the dash easily to get on the deck, still a nice breeze to keep you cool while idling in the heat, etc.). I bought a set of cut-down wind deflectors from Finneys (mine are 6" tall - standard are 8" tall) and had a local fabricator build the fixtures and install everything. They're not near as easy to make as you would think, as nothing is straight on the dash and both the fixtures and the Lexan have hours of handwork involved to make them fit perfectly. Anyway, I'm really happy with how they turned out. The only thing I'm having changed right now is the way the Lexan mounts to the fixtures - I'm getting rid of the large washers and just going with the countersunk screws directly into the Lexan so you don't see the washers sticking out past the fixtures from the backside (this required new Lexan deflectors). A small detail, but I want them perfect...........

Look good much better with the brackets than the factory ones that come with them. I ordered a set with the standard brackets but did not like them in the configuration.
It is a whole different boat without the wind. Nice job.

Those look great. You are making miss my 28!

Looks nice Dale. Would like to see them in person. I don't want to go the complete windshield route. This would work well on the passenger side. Don't know about drivers side though. I have more gauges where the mounts are. Looks like the right mount for the passenger side on yours is smaller to clear the gauges. That might work for both of them on my drivers side.

Nice work.
