Looks real good.....let us know how much it helps with the wind.

I need a bracket only, as I already have the lexan cut. Has anyone ever built one or know someone that does?

I've been on plenty of other Cigs that have them. It's night and day. I've heard many people say that it's the best dollar-for-dollar upgrade that can be done as far as making a difference. I'm really looking foreward to this season. My wife couldn't see over the flaps, so it'll be nice for her as well.
The bracket looks like it would be extremely tough to make. There has been a few people who posted that they were going to start making them....but I can't remember who it was and it never seems to go anywhere.

It works great for the wind in the face factor.
When I had one put on my 38 the boat went a mile per hr. slower.

Call Kent, Brandon (Timmy's Old Upholstery Guy) is next to him in a small shop, getting just enough work to stay busy and not piss people off (like Timmy) until he get's up and running full time

1-1.5 mph's is what it will cost you speed wise. Comfort-wise? Priceless.

Dave Hunter did the paint on my boat. I've already looked under the battery covers...no paint codes. Do you have his #?
Looks great Craig, give Glass Dave a call he can match Dave Hunters paint work, he is doing a bunch of paint work for me, including the windshield on my boat. If you want his number Ill PM it to you.
