Thanks, Brandon. Hey, have you got yours in the water yet this year? It's high summer down here. Temp topped 100*F today.

Good point about the center support for the windshield. I have thought about it. Since it looks like I'll be making my own frame, I was going to scale it down about 10% in height. I've done a mockup using 1x2 for a frame and it's hard to tell it from the original. But the height works better with the raised helm deck. I'll be able to look over the windshield when standing at the helm and look through it when seated. With the reduced height, I think I can move the center support forward and get good results. That and my frame will be wood with miterd corners, so it shouldn't be as flexy in the joints as the aluminum extrusions in the original frame.
