I called Sleekcraft and they said there are no patterns left. I could make a pattern if someone could do the plexiglass work. I just planned on having a short 6 to 8 inch windsheild that goes around the sides to about the back of the front seats. My boat has a kinda contoured bubble and I think it would look great with a short windsheild. I don't know why the pics went side by side instead of up and down.

Check with Finney plastic's in Havasu, they made most of the windows for the Sleekcraft boats

Probably something you would have to send out for. There is a place in Orange County CA that will custom make or duplicate one for you.... I just wish I remember the name :(
Someone on here will know it, someone from the boards refered me for and they made me a sweet windshield for my boat.
I had 3/4 of my old windshield, my brother broke most of one side off and I threw it at him (lost at Havasu). They were able to use the dimensions from the other side and it fit perfectly.

My Boat is a 76 19'6" Sleekcraft ??. I am not sure what model it is. I was told they didn't make a rebel over 18'. It is pretty much identical to my 83 Sleekcraft 19'6" Kauai. They both have a nice bubble deck. As soon as the wife gets home next week I will see if I can post some pics. I am glad to have found this sight, thanks. David L.

J.Dave, I just picked up a 1972 Sleekcraft that has a windshield that pretty much matches what you described. I'm not sure how similar our boats are but if you want, I can make templetes off my setup and send them to you.

http://www.hotboatpics.com/pics/data/500/2981sc3.JPG The bubble on my 76 sleek is quite a bit bigger. The wife is getting a new camera for Christmas so I should be able to post pics this next week. Too bad yours is different . My boat is identical to my 83 Kauai but I don't know exactly what they called the 76. I really like the shape of this 19.6 boat and a small windsheild will only enhance the look. If I post some pics maybe someone can tell me what it is. I am thinking of selling the 76 but still need to make a windsheild for the 83. Thanks anyway. David L.

The windshield that I have is like the one in the picture of the Sleekcraft above. We liked the boat better without it.

Wow,nice boat. My boat looks very similar just with a big bubble deck. The back (sorry for my linemans termanology) is very similar also, is that a Jacuzzu I see? I need to get pics posted but it isn't too much fun pulling the cover off and standing in knee deep snow so I will try again next weekend. Is that a Jacuzzi 12YJ with some kind of electric diverter thing?? I am real interested in what you have done with your jet. My 76 has a 12 Yj/B

I am trying to figure out what model the yellow 76 is in the right pic at the top;you will have to scroll to see it. The previous owner says it is a rebel, the Bank says they didn't make a 19.5 rebel. The only thing I have found is something called a Sleekcraft streaker in 76. The pic on the left is a 19.5 Sleek Kauai 1983. They are very similar. I am just trying to get the records straight on the 76.
