Having been raised sailing as well I am pretty handy with sewing canvas so I made one out of sunbrella. I installed 6 snaps on each side and three along the bottom of the windshield and it works great, that would allow you to not snap the bottom couple snaps and leave the fat sac or snap all the way down if you do not have the sac there. The other thing I like is that it is easier to store than a rigid piece of plexiglass/lexan. It cost me about $12 to make. I am not sure how much a canvas shop would charge. We had a tonneau cover on our searay and I liked that as well, I just did not feel that industrious when it came to making something. I'll post a couple pics.

Sorry for the delay. Here's a pic of both the snap-in windscreen and the tonneau cover. I definitely like the tonneau cover better. What I've always wanted was a snap-on cockpit cover that covers the cockpit and back of the boat to match. It would be a great cover to keep on the boat when it's in the water during a rain shower.Originally posted by tigeblue View Postpic?Cursed by a fortune cookie: "Your principles mean more to you than any money or success."

I have a integrated bow sack that I am no longer using. If you want to trade for your sack I would do that.
On top of the seats it is a bit more then 600 full. I have 2 friends that are 300+ and the sac feels better then them.
In the 22VE you can run it under the seats as well, and In that configuration it would take about 350-400 I would guess.Tige owner since 2006
