So I have a 1998 searay express cruiser with a bimini top. When people are on the boat a lot of times they get hit with the water spray, including myself. I notice the bigger boats has this plastic type wrap around that looks like it would protect from getting wet but it looks like it connects from windshield to a rigid type arch in the cockpit area which I don't have. Is there a setup for my size boat? Thanks

You're referring to isinglass. You should be able to get something custom-made for your boat. Most custom canvas companies can do this for you. Maybe check with other boaters in your region to make sure you're working with a reliable company.

Good luck!

The canvas company can add zippers to your existing bimini top to attach new front and side panels. Depending on how big your EC is, and what your weather and boating habits are like, you can do smiley/frowney zippered sections so you can leave the curtains attached but open the "windows," too. (Friends with bigger boats sometimes leave the curtains up in iffy weather, because it can be a PITA to install them when the weather turns quickly and gets windy or rainy in a flash.)

Combining smiley/frowney panels with screening is an option, too.

I have them for my boat and I never use them.

I like the wind in my face and every now and then a little spray in the kisser...:grin:
