[I'm a little undecided about the windshield. I've been playing around with some old school chriscraft brackets but I can't seem to find ones with the correct angle. I looked into having an original style windshield built but for the cost of a new one I think I can come up with something much better with more style. I'm shooting for a mix of the classic chris craft / garwood runabout with sleek mordern styling]

Here is the windshield that I remember on the 28' Bertram.

I have all the dimensions for the original windshield but I think I can do something a little better than stock. I do know I'm looking for a shorter than stock height. Its also not bad looking without one but it is nice having a little wind protection.

I'm looking for opinions on what type of paint to use Imron or AwlGrip. Are their pros and cons from one to the other? The paint scheme will be similar to the original but flair at the bow and stern like the old Moppie race boats. I plan on using the same color red or something very similar. I've attached a rough photo shop sketch I made from another Baron picture I took off the web.

A few more interior shots and a picture of my NOS Aqua Meter gauges. I just purchaced an NOS Aqua Meter hour meter and all I need is a matching fuel gauge and I'll have a complete set. If anyone has one or knows of one I would be interested. Thats it for now. Next will be the 3 storage drawers inside of the gunnels and the floor hatch install and hardware.
