I just had one made for my center console and the quality and workmanship is outstanding. I chose the green tint and it displays superb clarity and the bends are clean. Mark educated me about the various plastics out there and he recommends only the premium stuff. Google him, you should find some articles about his custom work.
He was a referral from another BD'r.

I just wish my builder / developer clients were busy networking new projects and doing the same for me  ... damn it's slow out there.

I need a small windshield also. Can he do this by email and phone calls or do I need to drive the boat up there?

For all you Bayrunner guys with T tops here's an option that I did on mine. I had a wrap around eisenglass made that protects you and the console completely. I also made some little brackets that kick the sides out for a completely dry ride. You can kind of see it in this picture. It came in really handy a couple of days last week in Baja when the wind picked up and we had to run into the spray. Cost me $60.00.. Just a thought...

Talked to Mark today thankyou for the referal seems like a cool guy and price was fair . he said for my boat dark Plex quality materials would run around $250 and if he was in the area he would pick it up here in San Diego instead of driving to Cariona . Worth the phonecall for sure just to hear what kind of price he could do for you ????

I thought about the eisenglass before; Does that stuff make it substantially harder to see kelps and stuff? I mean does it blurr the vision much?
Thanks,
Chris
