I did it and it turned out ok. The issue is the curve in the windshield. I applied to the outside of the frame first and then wrapped over the top to the inside and it created a bunch of wrinkles on the inside of the curve because of excess material. I would suggest doing the opposite and starting on the inside and stretching the vinyl over to the outside. If you have a good quality cast wrap vinyl it should stretch enough to fit.

I looked at using Boostane if needed for a Powell trip, but we ended up filling several 55 gallon drums on the back of the houseboat with 91 octane at Antelope Point. Then we just used a Holley electric fuel pump to pump the fuel from the barrels to the boats.

seems lame (it is) but would a bluetooth track skipper remote be helpful?
(these are way cheaper on aliexpress)

Yesterday I was out for about 5 hours. Head unit played flawlessly until I used the head to skip a track, then it did it's reset thing. Up to that point, I was just using the phone to skip tracks. Going forward I'm going to avoid using the head until to skip tracks to see if that helps.
Yeah, it always works on the source, not on the head unit. Pretty annoying if someone else is streaming and the captain doesn't like the song....

45 minutes ago, justgary said:Thanks for catching that. Never do math in public. You need 17.4% toluene to bring 87 to 91.
Toluene used to be pretty cheap, but now has that "aromatic hydrocarbon" solvent EPA business going on. It is still in spray paint and paint thinners in addition to gasoline. I'm pretty sure by the smell that it is a large component of the small engine fuel they sell in one gallon cans at hardware stores these days.
The thing is, if you have 87 octane and need 91 octane, you have to add something. Adding higher octane means you add less of it. You would need 44.4% of 100 octane "race gas" to get 91 octane. The toluene would come out cheaper if it were 2.5 times as expensive as the race gas, which it generally isn't.
Yeah, you can buy it by the gallon at Home Depot. If you have to buy a 55 gallon drum of toluene to get it at a price that makes sense, I'd just haul the 91 octane with me.... I haven't bought race gas in years, since E85 became available at the pump. 100 octane at the pump near me was $11.99 last I checked about six months ago. I don't have an LT4 and Costco 93 is about two miles from my regular boat ramp, so none of this affects me.
