Call Rob at Robinswood in Orleans.
He made a beautiful custom windshield for my 20 cc. Topnotch job.
You can see his add on Craigslist....just search under "boats"....windshield / Robinswood or lexan. Mention my name as the other Seacraft owner in Orleans. Just spoke with him at Dunkin Donuts three days ago.

Default Windshield

My recollection was that I paid $400.00 and tipped him $100 for a great job. Very meticulous. He essentially insisted on installing it himself because he wanted to make sure it was done right. I was able to give him my old one and had him duplicate that (which is what I wanted) but he can design to meet your specs.

You should also get the bow cushion done. It was great this year and my wife loved it especially. Able to stretch out in great comfort to soak up the rays but could always access the fish box if needed. That was $$$$ well spent!

He's not on the Cape, but I've always had nothing but fantastic service and very fair pricing from Tony at Palco Plastics. He's also a boater/fisherman.

Ask for Tony and tell him Paul from Logan sent you.

Thanks too fly. That's also what I would consider local. What's the best way to go about this as I don't have an old windshield I can take off and duplicate. Should I just trailer the boat to them and have them measure or should I do a drawing and measurements myself. Thanks.
