Well, it finally got warn enough to uncover the boat and try the templates. I don't think we have the same windshields. At the vary least, the angles are different. The wings are probably the same, but not the windshield portion.
Audio, before you pack and ship your windshield, please take some measurements. One side of my windshild is 42" long at the bottem, and 41" across the top. Diagonal meaurments are 46" and 50".
Overall, the '85 windshield is not so pointed, or it is straighter accross the beam of the boat. Still angled, but less than your '79.

You guys need to test some different heights. I think it should only be high enough to direct the wind over your head when sitting and low enough to have the wind coming off the fairing, hit you around the chest when standing. What you don't want is the wind deflecting straight into your face while standing.
The lower it is, the sportier it looks.
