: Looking for a windshield design like the one used on this Squirt project by Ron Wilson. If any one has a good resource or knows more information, please let me know. Thanks in advance.
Correction of previous follow-up. Larsen brackets are too rounded for squirt deck. I just finished my windshield-- Chris-Craft Custom Runabout Brackets from 40's. They have the correct curve at the bottom of the brackets. They come in two sizes-- 10" and 12". Reproduction castings-- polished and chromed cost $261 for set of three including shipping. You must have own glass cut from pattern. Castings also available for $200 for no chrome. Bought mine from Paul Mikkelson-- curator of the Mikkelson Collection-- a museum of Larsen Falls Flyers and parts. These are "show chrome" and heavy. He has molds and at different times-- different items in stock. Before griping about the price-- the same ones are available in California from California Classic Boats for $470 and from Classic Boat Connection in Minneapolis unchromed or buffed for $350. In my opinion-- they "make" the boat.
