Giving Credit to Mrs. Chart
She went Above and Beyond while I was in MA with AudioFn.
Before going, I took dozens of pictures of the front of my windshield and the deck, knowing that our decks were different, and wanting to be able to compare them during the building stage. While in MA, we discovered the area under the wings were also different, but I had no pictures of that.
Mrs. Chart went out in a 15 degree snow storm, climbed up a ladder, pulled back the cover, and took measurments. Then she took two rolls of film with the 35mm camera (as the digital was in MA), had them one-hour developed onto disc and emailed them to us.
A lot of guys' wives don't support their boating habit. Mrs. Chart not only supports it, but she is willing to suffer for it.
Jean, thank you.

LOOKS GREAT and that material seems to be the right choice
Im with you on the DECK FLEX issue, I hope u have that covered
I have a built in fairing and I pulled the carpet of to see how they braced it , I found strips of glassed marine plywood, seems to be quite rigid, you might want to do something on that level

Chart I have an '82' 302 as well and I think the fairing looks great. Just my .02$ but I like the wind deflector up high as opposed to level with the top of the fairing. Rick G.

Hi Jon , thankyou very much I have a family member in the shipping business if you email an address where you are I can make arrangements to have it picked up. I would prefer you ship the whole thing all I ask is that you package so as to reduce the risk of damage and would be more than happy to re-imburse you for any and all out of pocket costs. Again email with some particulars so I can make arrangements for this or email your phone number and I will call you , I would enjoy talking to you in any event. I can fill you in on my various projects and endevors. Thanks again Rick G.
