Have another question, my windshield is cracked in two places. The frame is perfect, no bends or bangs in it. I removed the entire unit from the hull and tugged on it a few times but can't seem to figure out how to get the Plexiglas out of the aluminum frame? I don't see any screws or rivets anywhere but it appears to be in there pretty solidly and last thing I want to do is damage something trying to get it out. Anyone know of a procedure or trick to remove it?

There's holes along the top of the windshield. There are little clips inside the frame that snap into those holes. If you look close from the underside you should be able to see them, you should be able to get in-between the frame and Plexiglas with a thin putty knife or something and release the clips. You'll have to do the front and back side at the same time. They're spring loaded and kinda a pain. Good luck.

If you want to keep the hook i would support it before layup begins. A fast easy way to do this is smear bondo over the cradle and place parchment paper over it then set the hull down onto it. Make sure the hull contacts all the places it currently sits by making marks etc
