What's the deal with the Canopys on these ZRCs? I've seen more than a few people who buy used ZRC's talk about having new canopys put on them. Do they distort after a while or become cloudy and hard to see thru? What's the cost of replacing them?

 

[Tom A.]

I am not sure of the cost because they were installed before I bought the boat, however the old ones did distort and had a tendency to yellow over time. The new ones on my boat are almost completely distortion free and crystal clear.

Old and new

 

[mdgperf]

The original canopys on the older zrc were made of polycarbonate(left over military stock bought at surplus)they would yellow over time,the new zrc have canopys made out of acrylic and are very clear,i had my new canopys made from acrylic super clear,cost around 4k,new ones made from poly around 10k,the poly is safer and less prone to cracking,most of the performance boats built on west coast use acrylic canopys

Aren't your canopies made by Aero Marine in CA?

This is an '86 Minx I restored and then sold about two years ago.
