I was wondering if I could get a few windshield pics from you guys, especially if you've done something different. Mine seems to be a little taller (and broken). I like it though. I don't care to see the "dash" over the windshield.

The front stop. It ducking(<--pg13) blows. Before I go replacing the rub rail or capping it, it must change.

So if you've got any pics of what you've done or seen done it would surely be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Adrenaline redid the trailer bump stop, original design destroys the rub rail. Windshield is from OC Boat windows.

It looks like they moved the whole stop back. Is that where the spare tire holder originally is? I'm going to bring the boat forward a little bit get some weight back on the trailer unless someone can advise why this is a bad idea? I know I need to keep clearance for the tow vehicle.

Nice buckets by the way. Do you prefer the new style to the original and why?

They cut off the old stop completely and built the new one, and I had them move the boat forward two inches. It will never hit the truck. It still tows like shit, better, but still like shit, just too much weight too far back on a twin outboard. Seats dont feel any different then the originals, I just wanted to update the interior to a more current style seat, makes the boat look much newer. Used the old ones for seats in my garage. And I dont carry on the spare, too easy to steal, way easier just to toss it in the back of the truck if I have a long tow, otherwise its only a few miles to the ramp so dont bother with it.
