Need a new Windshield

Can anyone recommend a reasonably priced plexiglass company in the MA /RI area who can build a new windshield, for my 23' CC? How much should I expect to pay? Thanks Dink

Dink..are you good with a few basic hand tools?. They are very easy to make. Make a pattern out of paper from the old one, get a full or half sheet of 1/4" p-glass. Jig saw and a small circular saw with a 20 tooth blade. Cut, Sand and then flame polish the edges with a little plummers torch. Now for the tricky part. Mark where the bends are by using the paper template. Champ the piece with a couple of camps on the egde of a table. Take a heat gun or I use a small jet heater, heat the glass till it bends under its own weight(just pull the paper covering off the side your heating), let it cool and do the other side... presto new windshield..

Sorry I don't know of any one that can make it for you, cause I make my own.

I've never dealt with them, but this firm has been mentioned on fishing related web sites that I frequent.
