Thanks guys. If anyone has pics that would be awesome. I'm going to at least try to find a bow cover, but as we know it's not easy task.

    I'll get u some pics of mine, but it'll prolly b next weekend before I get around to it both open and closed. They really they fold back and outta the way enough to keep in place all summer. but I usually take them off and store them in my engine compartment.

    Yes they're easy to install. Any bow cover you buy will have to have snaps installed in spots where they will match up with the snaps on your boat. I like jarwiebe's idea too though...

    Took her up north before winter gets us here in michigan...that front bow door would have came in handy when doing some speed runs when it got a little chilly.

    i definitely need to get a cover for it during travels...the storage cover, even strapped, was ballooning and flapping everywhere...we got caught in a rainstorm on the drive back and it got inside pretty wet thru the cover as well.

    I winterized my boat yesterday and snapped a few pictures of the "walk through door" for those of you who may be interested in doing something similar. The canvas shop put 4 snaps down each side and velcro across the top to keep the "door" in place.

    I made a Plexiglas piece for my Z272. Works great, really keeps the wind down. When the weather gets nice, I store it on the dock. It's only in the boat in the spring and fall when needed. The only time it's an issue is when you have to get to the front of the boat for docking or tying off.

    The 272 has a slight step on either side between the walk way and the bow seats, I slide it down there. I don't know if that will work on your boat.

    If you can come up with a pattern, I can cut a piece for you. I own a machine shop and have a laser that can cut lexan like butter. Cost of a 4x8 piece of 1/4" lexan is about $150. I'm guessing but I doubt if you would need much more than a quarter sheet. Figure $40 plus shipping.
