Nice looking boat Olly. Best addition we made was to make a polycarbonate windscreen, they do tend to take some water over the front in a bit of a sea also keeps the wind out of your eyes (useful in Dec/January) if you stand while steering which I do.

Hi olly When I had a warrior I fitted a detachable screen by using 22mm pipe clips ftitted to a polycarbonate screen which was just a bit bigger than the radar arch gap between the cabin roof and front rail. Worked a treat and as Canuck said it helps stop your eyes watering when standing up and steering. Dave  |

Olly,
Same as Dave, made a cardboard template 1" bigger than the radar arch then cut out of a piece of 4mm polycarbonate with a jigsaw, smoothed of the edges then drilled ahd attached with cable ties, (I'm not a plummer or electrician come to that) sealed along the bottom with silicon to stop windshield rubbing and vibrating on cabin top.
Some people have suggested that it will slow the boat or increase fuel consumption but I think its well worth the trade off.
