FYI: Replacemtn Boat Windshield
 
In my search for replacement boat windshields for my bass boat I discovered
that there aren't a lot of options. You can go to the original manufacturer
through a dealer if it is a very recent model, but if its more than a few
years old or the model has changed you can be out of luck.

Cabelas.com has a line of generic replacements, but their selection is very
limited and if they don't have one close to your size you are stuck making
spacers or doing without.

I found a company called ACE Acrylics in Irving, Texas that will make custom
replacements. I am sending my one good windshield to them to duplicate and
return. I would not normally have posted a message like this except in my
search for "replacement boat windshield" I ran across several message boards
where people had posted requests for replacements and stated they could not
even find somebody to make one.

I figured that ACE's price seemed reasonable at $75-80 each for Acrylic or
$95 each for polycarbonate.

Obviously flat panel aluminum frame windshields are easy to replace, but
custom or semi-custom shaped free standing windshields can be difficult.
