    Cruising on Lake Tahoe

    Boat Top

    Re: Boat Top Very cool, got your aft cover. Here's some pics of what came in my boat. What did it cost? Does it have a rear window. I had mine custom made with a rear window and it was pricey.

    nineteen windshield

    Re: nineteen windshield Hey Monkey-Wrench Ziggy's right about the color. I did replace all three windows, did most of it myself and I learned some things. Aristocraft told me that the windows can be replaced with the frame on the boat. In hindsight probably a better idea. I pulled the whole...
