Nice find there Budski! Wait, let me guess....the transom is in great shape and the pour in foam looks like the day it was new? Of course I am kidding with you, I'm just jealous!

I will be following along, for sure!

Happy Halloween!

Well Budski, I certainly don't wish wet foam or a soft transom on anyone, but it sounds like you could have a victim of either or even worse, both!

I am looking forward to following along on this one, good luck! Keep us posted, as usual!

Test fitted the curved windshield from the 16 SS on my 18 SS, looks great, going to have make some modifications widen the center window but it will work.

 

[Watermann]

Will it work to trade the center windows?

 

[budski]

No Ron it won't unfortunately it won't the black one is 25 1/2 high and the old aluminum colored one is 21 high also the black one is narrower only 18 inches and the other is 21 inches I am going to use the 2 vertical from the black one and 2 horizontal from aluminum make a center window for the curved windshield and vice versa for the other one we checked and the parts can be interchanged I will probably use clear plexiglass for both of them.

I used Margard Lexan polycarbonate for my windshield. It is easy to cut wiht a fine toothed saw blade, will not shatter like plexiglass, and is scratch resistant. I am pleased with the result. I found mine at:

Yeah you want to use polycarb, especially for a windshield.

We got the curved windshield installed came out great.

 

[Watermann]

Looks great, I like the look of that updated curved windshield on the SS :thumb:

BobJohnson needs to take a look at this, he's really struggling with his 18' SS WS.

[budski]

Thanks Rob. yes Jason windshield is a clone to yours except, it's black, modernizes the old boat.

 

[budski]

StarCraft is SOLD going to rebuild the lund and keep it.

 

[Watermann]

Man it's going to be tough for you to go out on the water around there without seeing one of your boats.

 

[budski]

Yes they are spread out allover Manitoba, Alberta And Ontario.
