I don't like the the enclosure and zippers getting in the way of my view. I went to single piece of Lexan/Makrolon for the front. I never take it out and use the windshield and wipers to see when the enclosure gets fogged up. The vent window work well and the side panels are easy zip outs if necessary.

Thinking about my next enclosure project. Has anyone seen a GW walk around that eliminated the hard windshield and replaced with an enclosure?

I looked at GW's current models. Bigger windshields. Not sure if they are glass or acrylic.

Not a walkaround, but someone near me has a dual console Tournament 22 with the windshield completely removed, and no enclosure. I guess that's the "Palm Beach" look, but having the same boat, I know that's a wet ride in the ocean. Maybe okay on the sound side of the banks.
