[racing fan]

I am restoring a hydroplane as pics have already been up on here but thats not the point what type of material is used in outboard hydroplanes or what material could i use for the clear windshield

101 lexan?

any one???

Lexan is less likely to crack, but it scratches easier. If you are drilling holes, it is worth spending the money on a plastic drill bit. They are less likely to grab and crack the sheet.

Those are the usual materials. There may be some exotics for very high performance.
