I own a 1986 Bayliner Capri 1950 CX openbow...And just my luck with Ohio's snow and ice,,,it had built up and a very large section fell off my parents roof (about a 20 foot fall) and smashed my port side windshield in front of driver and the windshield towards the open bow....Honestly couldn't tell what all damage was done ( as we have it covered with a tarp and boat cover), but the bimini top even had a bracket broken on the one side where it attaches to boat!!!!

Can anyone tell me where I can go to find parts,,, or if I can buy the items at hardware stores to fix myself??? I am in real heartache right now,,,my husband and I just bought the boat on Valentines day and really looked forward to getting it in the water. We haven't even had a chance to get the title switched over in his name, so we have no insurance on it!!!!! Please give any input is greatly appreciated..Thanks :)

check out Ebay and places like MarineSurplus.com. Windshields and parts are always there. Search under Bayliner Capri

Get yourself some insurance. At the least, liablilty insurance. Check out US Boat or talk to your agent.

Unfortunately, these replacements cost an awful lot of money if you can even find them. I replaced mine with Lexan (windshield) and smoked Plexiglass (side window; yours might be clear). Both were 3/16" thick, and were easy to cut with a saber saw.

Windshields are one of the toughest items to find. However, you have one of the more common boats so your chances for success are better than most. Sorry to hear about it.
