Can Anyone Help?

[teaser]

Hi Guys,

I need a little help if possible, I know a few of you may have hit the wall I did trying to find one.

I have a 1991 Four Winns "Quest 220" Center Console and a friend of mine cracked the windsheild last season and I want to replace it before this season gets into full swing.

Here's the problem ...

I contacted Four Winns to inquire about getting the part and I was informed by them that they don't have the part because the boat was designed by them but actually built by "Stratos" and I had to contact them.

I did.

Stratos told me that they had sold all the rights and everything to "HydroSport" back in 1995 and to contact them and that he'd give me the part number but it may not match their part number, but, I contacted them like he said.

Now they tell me that the part is no longer available and to contact a company they use to see if they can help me. Well you guessed it, I called them and they said send me the old windsheild and we'll see what we can do - if anything!

I asked what happens if they can't find a match, I'm out a windsheild to use for now and I'd pay to have this thing shipped back and forth across America.

I also told them if they have them that I'd take 2, the replacement and a spare in case it ever happened again.

I was told "well if we can't find it for you then I don't know what else to tell you, but you do have to pay for the shipping and our time trying to match it up".

Has anyone out there ever run into this before? I thought that windsheilds for c/c's were supposed to fairly easy to get in case of an accident, I mean it's not rocket science is it? To me it's cut and bent plexiglass.

If anyone can send me in the right direction, a link, a number, anything... I would surely appreciate it, or at least let me know that there is a light at the end of the tunnel.

Thanks and tight lines to all!
