I started working on my 73 Marlin this weekend and noticed today that my windshield is now cracked :mad: The boat has been covered all winter. The only thing that has been on it, that I know of, have been the damn cats. The neighbor kids could have climbed on it but I am not sure. Does anyone know where I can get a replacement windshield? Am I going to have to make one?

It would be a lot cheaper to use a solvent to fuse the crack back together. I don't think you need perfect optical properties here.

L&L marine. I just spoke to them about one about 3 weeks ago for a thaiti tarino, same boat basically. 585 bucks with out the frame work, just the plexi. That was the windshield for the 16 foot version, the 18' is more, it's wider.
I have no idea what it would cost to ship that thing.
L&L... 1 800 969 7278.

I talked to them too. They've always been one of the guys I've bought from in the past, they're one of the best. Them and Wayne/Earl, but they buy the windshields for this boat from another supplier (guess who) and they charge another 100 bucks more.

Do a hot boat forum search using windshield. The guys told me about Midday Plastic Products, Inc. Midday has the best pricing I've found so-far.(for my 72 sidewinder). 425-883-4600. I talked to linda, tell her Bill from Sea Ray of Boston mentioned her company to you. If you get any lower prices than here, let me know PLEASE...Bill.

I have 2 friends that have used L&L & both were happy. I used Wayne Earl because L&L did not have yellow plexiglass in stock. Wayne Earl did an outstanding job though...
