I spent a good amount of time searching for info from others who may have tried to replace a broken windshield on a Fish n Ski style boat. It always is the curved piece that breaks isn't it!?? Well, after getting a quote for about $700 for the windshield and $400 to ship it from Taylor made in NY, I decided to take a crack at it myself. I discovered that Lexan has more forgiving properties over acrylic/plexi. So with the frame assembled but removed from the boat, I traced the outline of the windshield onto cardboard. I cut out the cardboard and had a local glass guy cut me a 1/4" sheet exactly as drawn. After that, I simply needed to 'bend' the piece into the frame! No heat used at all. Just some very precise and even pressure to coax the pane into the frame. Pics attached. PM me if you want to try this yourself and have questions. BTW, the sheet cost me $120 bucks and it took about 20 minutes to get it in the frame.
