You know me I usually go with the automotive, they can match about anything. Holds up will on the lower unit also, and you can get etching primer that will stick to the aluminum.

Happy 4rth everyone !!
Ok need opinions on my windshield...
Im making templates for the WS . Side by side comparison. Do you like the slightly raised with the rounded corners on top or the straight curved top of the glass . I think they both would look good but leaning toward the straight top . The Admiral first said the radius corner one then after looking a little longer said the straight one she liked better .

Happy Independence Day Sam. I am the architect so I will say curved :), I like the strait but it bugs me how the brackets stick up higher that the glass......If you can get the strait to flush out with the brackets then I would go that way.

And this is why you make the big bucks !
Was thinking the same . I could see a mooring line getting caught on it perhaps ..

That is a good point, I just think a boat with clean lines should have a windshield that is the same. May not be possible but something to consider. And I need you to do my marketing.....clients seem to be a bit tight fisted with the $$ lol.
