The fairing looks very nice. have you had her out yet? I'm curious as to how well it keeps the wind off of you. I almost wish the window on my 357 was taller. I'm 6'3" and usually drive standing up and get blasted by the wind.

I have not had it out yet. I am in the process of preping the boat to be painted in the next week or so. Also I could care less if the fairing is functional I just wanted the look of the new 382 with the fairing. The way I see it if you are cold when you are driving, were a jacket!Form over function. Also I am 6'1" and the wind never bother me when I was standing up before the change in windsheild so I know it won't bother me after.

Good luck!! I hope to be putting mine in paint in the next two weeks. Just hired my brother to do some of the harder areas of flatwork that I keep messing up and also paying his worker biatch to sand it all down. If I tried to do it all myself it would not be done ever.......

Dude I hope for his sake he wins. All he had to do what put drives and motors in. I had to build an entire boat. He has employees to do all his work. I have to work then work on the boat. So HE BETTER WIN!!! If not he is a supream Slacker. I do however HIGHLY doubt he hits the water this weekend.

We'll have to watch him carefully, he might try to set up a lawn sprinkler and claim victory. On a more serious note, I am totally impressed with the work you have put in your 302. Talk about a "labor of love", or maybe serving pennance for some past deed. All of us can't wait till it's done. Keep the faith you'll get there.
