The windshield on our flybridge looks nice, but doesn't do a thing in terms of deflecting wind. Our last boat had a bigger windshield, but I didn't care for the way it looked.
I'm looking for ideas to combine with a bimini top to get us through the next few seasons before budget allows us to do a hard top & 3-sided enclosure.
Has anyone installed (or seen) a good looking, effective windshield for the bridge?
Here's the old one for reference, which was really effective, but I didn't care for the look of it:

I think it looks great. I have the factory windscreen that does nothing but deflect the wind and spray right at my face ! Other than having a reverse Venturi which I think looks awful you have very few choices. Your existing windscreen might not be sexy but I would sure trade with you in a second in a head sea / head wind condition.

You just need to learn to duck faster so only your back gets wet. LOLlongfin wrote:I think it looks great.

I got pretty good at ducking on those long rides to and from the Hudson when I was much younger.

Or, install the negative sloping 28 fairing. Beauty and practicality on an otherwise dry son of a boat !!
