I have a contract on a 4000 Express that I plan to truck from Cleveland, Ohio to Nashville, TN. The hauler I'm talking with about the move says 13' 6" is the max height for his lowboy trailer. Just removing the radar arch won't get me to that height so the windshield will need to be removed. I know there are a number of stainless steel screws securing the base to the fiberglass around the cockpit. I'm curious what tools will be needed to make the removal as painless as possible. I'm new to this forum and attempted to search the posts for '4000 windshield removal' with no results. I'm hoping someone can point me to previous posts, or school me on proper search methods to find info on a 4000 windshield removal. This boat does not have a hardtop.....just a sunbrella top mounted on a frame and secured to the windshield (it appears) via a channel in the top of the windshield.

You should probably search for a different hauler. We had a 94 4000 express hauled from st Petersburg fl to ct and all that was removed was radar arch.

Thanks for the input on seeking another trucker. If you could provide the name of your hauler, I would be most appreciative as the boat is currently on Long Island, NY and I was planning to make the trip up the Hudson to the Erie Canal through the Buffalo canal system to Lake Erie then over to Cleveland. I could always just motor up a few miles to CT and have it hauled there for a trip to Nashville!
