Author	Topic:   Tinted Front Windows
oakpwr	posted 02-01-2012 11:08 AM ET (US)         I'm getting ready to get a new front window built for my 18.5' Outrage, the old acrylic is starting to shatter. I've gotten several quotes and want to increase the window height to about 28" (out of acrylic) to keep the water spray down (I will also be rebuilding the stainless frame around it). I have a leaning post and my view will still be unobstructed, I just want something to duck under. My main question is that all of the windows are usually tinted green/blueish or gray tint. I really wanted to go clear so I could see through it better. Besides looks, is there a reason why I should go tinted windows?
