    Default Replacement windshield


    Anyone know where I can get a cheap replacement windshield for my boat? It is 26 inches wide and I have had no luckso far finding a match!

    The last time I bought one I went to a local plastics shop and they made me one out of smoked plastic. Turned out very well and was a lot less than one made for the boat.

    Same here, I need one for a '89 Bayliner Capri 16'. That was the only thing wrong with it when I bought it.

    I got a replacement windshield from Ranger Boats once that cost less than 100.00. It might be worth checking with your manufacturer.

    Be good if you posted a pic of it so we can tell if it's too involved to make one, sometimes it's not too hard.

    Skeetbum if this works, here's a pic of my boat. As you can tell I've made a home made windshield on it, but it doesn't look to good.

    Here are some contacts to try. Often they need the old one to copy.
