Did you leave the anchor out while you were pulling it down the road? Hear that can be devastating to windshields.

I think the best part is you had the boy skip school and He's wearing a shirt that says school rules!

Juan, don't do anything yet. My dad busted out the passenger side on his lund a few years back. I think he still has the drivers side.

Excellent, mine is a ProV, so I am not sure if another Lund that isn't a prov will work or not

I throw this jab at my friends all the time. I've never owned a windshield boat yet and don't plan on either. Boat control and room are hard to give up.

I have seen lots of windshields get broke out more often when using gravel ramps and the driver spins his tires goin up the ramp just asking for trouble

Nothing worse than a broken windshield in the boat. I've had one busted and I've heard numerous horror stories about guys breaking their windshield and not being able to find a replacement or the replacement cost was outrageous. My brother made a cover for his boat as soon as he saw the hassles of my broken windshield. He pulls it without tarp but windshield covered all the time. I think a guy should check into windshield covers more seriously. I found this one. Does anyone use one that is decent?

They are worth it.

Ran one last summer. Good padding. Tie it tight or it will be in a ditch somewhere.
I see a lot of them going down the road now.

20170424_135415.jpg these things are worth all $250. Hell not having to clean the bugs off in the summer if anything.

Met a pickup and a really nice boat going west out of Wahpeton last Friday. He had the full rock catcher mud flaps, The V-plow thing on the boat trailor and what looked like a Bra cover on the front of the boat that went over the windshield. He was taking no chances.

Traded up already, The wife wanted a different boat for a couple different reasons. I put 86 hours on the main motor of the last boat.
