Re: WINDSHIELD
BULLDOG:<br /><br />In an interest to assist the members of iboats.com, I have been researching the issue of windshields for thier boats, etc..<br /><br />My experiences have ranged from using a local supplier for glass for 87 FourWinns to locating alunimum frame work for my 86 FourWinns in FL, so I guess I would have a 75% success rate!!!<br /><br />What I have seen in various spots on the Web is Plastic Companies specializing in recreating new windshields/windscreens from old ones (making mold) or completely replacing with new framework, etc. which would include some fiberglass repair.<br /><br />The above would facilitate removing existing windshield/windscreen and forwarding to one of these fabricators... so it looks like in the off-season you will be removing such & starting a new project to keep yoursewlf entertained throughout the winter months.<br /><br />So... if you have flat tempered glass, your local glass company can get something to work but you need to remove framework to have it done correctly... off-season again!!! If you have a plexiglass/lexan windshield that is curved then you will be looking at having one made via a plastics company.<br /><br />Try to contact the boat manufacturer of your boat & get specs/supplier for windshield... they have records, make sure you take pictures that can be forwarded to the supplier & specifications. With the consolidation of the boat manufacturers industry, your boat might be made by someone else now or a different supplier is used.<br /><br />Yours being a Bayliner, shouldn't be much of a problem but I would also research the used/junk boatyard locations within your area & if you find a boat/model like yours you might get lucky... I know this doesn't answer your question but if you need some sources, feel free to email me at...
fone_man@bellsouth.net & I will forward what info I have & hope this will help resolve your issue at hand.<br /><br />
