Oops, sorry, yes, it's a 18 foot 1967 Holiday.
Here's the stock window it originally had but I forgot to get a measurement before I got rid of it.
It was difficult to get out on the bow, so I bought one with a center door.
Does anyone have a measurement for how high the stock windshield is straight up perpendicular to the dash?
I recently bought one from a different style boat and it's looking like I'm going to be at 24 inches straight up from the dash at the middle.
I'm just curious.

I'm still tinkering with the electrical.
I've been keeping a lookout for a windshield with a swing door center section. My windshield made it difficult to get out to the bow. I picked this up today. This is it on another boat. By measuring things out, it looks like it's going to be a great...
I'll go back and see if I can find anything about this.
But I'm thinking I should be fine by just scuffing it with some light grit.
I'm going to go with the Rust-Oleum clean metal primer, and finally an oil based enamel.

I'll post back if I find the answer.
Is it okay to wait a week after etching primer on bare aluminum to then do the bare metal primer?
I'm trying to follow the steps posted in these forums, but I don't remember if there was a maximum time frame between etching primer until the second step of bare metal primer.

Thanks, yeah, I don't think I said it was picking up my line on sonar.
I'm guessing that zigzag image is either my 16oz Cannon Ball lead, or my 360 flasher. Most likely the 11 inch long 360 flasher.

I'm only going to go in freshwater in this boat.
What size and how many magnesium anodes should I mount to my hull? I figured I'd put them under the water line on bare aluminum skin of the transum.
After sanding those areas down to shiny aluminum and leaving them bare, I took her with some friends and fished all day.
Not a drop of water after pulling the plug.
I'm going to leave the aluminum bare so I can keep an eye on those spots to see if they develop corrosion again.
Thinking back, the...
Yeah, I've seen it too many times. Especially with classic cars.
'There is that 65 nova still sitting in a field that's going to be a cool hotrod someday.'
I'm doing this underside work with it most the way off the trailer.
The title of this thread is to keep it usable.
I don't want to have my boat unusable for any significant time.
