Default 1986 23 Seacraft?

Any ideas where I can find a wind shield for my newly acquired 1986 Seacraft 23 CC? I did check Ebay already - no luck. Also any ideas on original gel coat match? I have some small chipped gel coat damage I'd like to fix. Original color looks like off white, beige? Any ideas, help would be appreciated.

On the gelcoat —what I’ve done is take one of the smaller hatch covers off after buffing and polishing . Then take it to your local fiberglass supplier and have the match the color just like home depo does if you bring them a paint sample. Just getting a factory pack color will not allow for what 35 yrs in the S. Fl. Sun does to it. Looks like there’s a Florida fiberglass in Stuart that might be able to help you. Down here In Ft. Lauderdale I’ve used Fiberglass Coatings inc and been happy with them.
As for the windshield I’m sure someone up that way can point you to a plastic supplier that can bend one for you if you give them the measurements they need and you want!

If your windshield missing or just in bad shape? If you still have it, West Palm Plastics can make you a new one. They have made a couple for me on various boats through the years. They are in WPB off Okeechobee and Church Street. Frenchie is a good dude too.

Awesome! My windshield is in tact just totally hazy and dull. Can't see thru it. I'll take it off and go see the place you recommended. It's less than 40 minute drive from me. Thanks again.

Got my windshield just in time for scallop gathering a few years ago. Old windshield had so many tiny cracks you couldn't see through it. I told the guy not to drill holes in it. I did that myself. I didn't want to have to drill any more holes in the console in case the windshield holes didn't line up. Got mine in Melbourne.
