    Windshield Height?

    Ok, so I've still got to buy the decking for my 21' Starcraft Mariner project that followed me home, so I've got some time to plan my console dash and have been thinking.... The walkthrough windshield could be raised a bit along with the dash/steering to add for some protection in colder...
