Carla,
That makes a lot more sense. Especially the part about the drink.

Connor,
Thanks for the kind words. Your comments about the windshield are spot on. The windshield on my 20 sf was at exactly the wrong height until I cut it down, so I took particular interest in making sure this one works.

I've made more progress on the windshield frame. I got all the fastener holes filled with epoxy paste and then redrilled. I got my bimini top Friday, and I wanted to have the windshield frame in place when I located the bimini, so the frame went back on the boat today. I drilled my fastener holes so it will be ready to mount as soon as I get a few coats of varnish on it.

Here are a couple pics with my son Tyler demonstrating the view forward while sitting or standing.





And here are a couple with the bimini installed. In the second one, you can see how the tops of the windshield frames are all in the same plane. I really like the look that gives it.





It's starting to look more finished. Still a lot to do.
Dave
