Scott,

I tried to stay true to the original look as much as possible. I played with several options in my CAD program. The final product has the same footprint as the original, only the height is scaled down.

If you look at the side view of the 25 Seafari in the brochure, the top of all four windshield panels are in the same plane. So the front panels look like a continuation of the side panels in profile. I wanted to match that even though I was cutting it down. I was pleasantly surprised that all my head scratching and calculating payed off. I was the class clown in high school geometry, but I guess I absorbed some of it. I don't have a good pic of what I'm talking about, but I'll shoot a profile pic once I have the windshield installed.
