And they all have those new-fangled wiper blades that automatically bend to match the curve! 8)

For those that live in inhabitable parts of the world ... yes. For you ... probably not. :P

Hehe.... NAPA (inside joke: National Air Parts Association) is just a phone call away, and they deliver to the airport. If in stock I should see anything within a few days of ordering.

It was tongue in cheek...all modern wipers are made so they attach in the middle and are spring loaded in a frame to allow them to take the shape of the windshield as they move. If you can buy wiper blades... I saw the picture of your flight home. Didn't see the auto supply store or Walmart 8) 8)

So while I am still mulling over the windshield deal I worked on the gunwales some. The sides were closed up and foam added. The hope is if swamped this will keep the boat upright. I am also adding some half round to act as drip rails.

The drip rails will get taken all the way to the stern.

Good call on the half round. Man does your shop look like Glossie Blacks or what! 8)
