1/4 canopies

[jlnorthrup122]

you all know what I am talking about! Now what I want to know is what are they made out of accrylick or lexann or what? Also the boat manufacterers do they order them from a company or do they make them in house? Or maybe they are made from cold molded Epoxy? I have access to a machine that forms acrylick, lexann and plastic by heating it up over a type of wood mold! this specific machine is used to form acrylick sign faces and it seems as though there are impurities in the acrylic. is there a material out there that can be formed in such a manner and be of high clearaty?

R u talking about kinda cover u see on top of Bayliners? Or are you talking about a Bimini top? If you are talking about the bayliner kinda cover WTF is wrong with you? Those Bayliner cover looks like shit and REALLY limit visibility when your driving.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh........... I believe that those are made of Lexan. A lot of people bitch that they catch to much glare off of those.

[jlnorthrup122]

yeah but they use this design on fighter jets so I wouldn't think they would catch much glare in that aspect or they wouldn't run em?

[TroubIeOnWater]

Fighter jets also don't use lexan.

[jlnorthrup122]

true! what do they run I know it is some form of plastic.

[jlnorthrup122]

not to mention that the form is not the same shape.
