Can someone get me the name and number of the guy in Havasu that does acrylic windshields for boats. I just got a quote for earls in fullerton and almost passed out and I wanted a shop around for the best price. Thanks

Really? I bought a set from Wayne Earl for the Old Lavey about 4-5 years ago. They were a perfect fit, came with the gasket and hardware. Service was great. I did it all over the phone and fax. Ran about $280 I think. I know it was less than $300 with shipping. What did they quote you?

I'm not sure if this who you are looking for? Production Plastics 928-680-6700 Replaced my windshield on my 29' magic last season...pretty reasonable. Fight On!!!

WTF, they must be on crack. Tell them you want the 2 for 1 special or you will go elsewhere. Did they say why so much?

No didnt say why so much. It is a two piece windshield, but the split is on the side in a straight line right above the essex writing on the boat (if you can see in my signature). I just want the one side though.
