Hi All, I’m rebuilding a 1995 Crestliner Phantom 196 and I’m having issues with getting my consoles aligned so that the windshield can close. When I got the boat the consoles were rotted so I couldn’t get exact measurements. I used what I had though for an outline and now I can’t get the windshield to close. Any ideas on what I should adjust/resize? Thanks

If you didn't replace the floor and stringers, you have to now

If you did, you can get longer windshield struts. Both of your consoles appear to be leaning towards the boat CL

On my '88 SeaRay bowrider, the hull tended to spread, causing the opposite of what you have.
