Hi Scott, I had one made at a glass shop in my town. I took them old broken one and they made a new smoke one for $210

Good Luck

Scott,
Look in the phone book under plastic/fabricating and finishing or similar.Most any shop should be able to fabricate a windshield.

d.h.

Thanks for the info I many need more details on who did your work....I contacted a guy down in Miami and based on the dimensions I sent him he said $250 + $35 to ship it… I was thinking of going clear ... Are you guys happy with the work??

DH
I tried that up here with little luck...maybe I didnt try hard enough....several places specialized in plexi....sorry Lexan [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img] and are out of business.....but I will see what I can find out ..... anyone local to you that you would suggest.....I guess the guy in Miami was on target as far as cost considering Hammer got his for about the same…

Scott, I had mine done at ACRYPLEX in Miami they specialize in windshields. I personally prefer the clear,no tint. I have the big console and I had them make it tall were I have to look thru it not over it ,but everyone has their preferences.Reel Smoker.

I HAVEN’T PRICED ONE FOR MY 23 YET I HAD ONE MADE FOR MY OLD BOAT. I CAN’T REMEMBER THE GUY’S NAME OR PRICE IT WAS SEVERAL YEARS AGO. I WILL SAY THIS THOUGH I WENT WITH THE SMOKE ON THAT OTHER BOAT IT WAS A BAD MISTAKE ESPECIALLY AT NIGHT I WILL NEVER GO WITH ANOTHER SMOKE.

I just talked with a guy in West Palm Beach that would make it for about $150 (clear 1/4" ). For me it would cost about $75 to get it shipped up here...
