MultiFab made me a windshield for my center console in 1991. Right in Dorchester. Very nice work. Cost me $200 but I had them use 3/8" smoked plexi. The price for smoked plexi rises quickly when you go thicker than 1/4" but I wanted something that if grabbed by accident it would stand less chance of breaking. I never broke it before I switched boats.

Yup, that's it, Multifab.

And a user friendly web site to boot. The venturie option they show is nice, as are the 3-4 color/tint options.

Thanks for all the information guys, I REALLY appreciate it!

BigBo - thanks for the quick reply!

Zacs -thank you too - I knew Alvin glaser when he was alive and his son took over the business now, I never even thought about them. Thanks!

Nightfighter - I'll see if I can find them on the internet, thanks!

JohnR - It's made of acrylic 1/4" thick with 2 - 80 degree bends.

Ejk002 - Thanks for the listing, I'm calling as soon as I post this to see the options, Thanks!

#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^& - I'll look up their site and see what they offer too, Thanks!

Wrench / Beamie - Thanks guys for the link, I was hoping to buy 2 windshields, put one on the boat and keep one in the attic as a spare. I like the 3/8" idea to deter future cracking because my windsheild don't have any grip bars on it just the t-top frame. Thanks again!


Guys you are the best and this is without a doubt the best site on the internet and I'm proud to be a member! I just want to thank you all!!

Tight lines to each & every one of you!

Insanity is a long and winding road ... I think I finally made it there.

I buy supplies from them and am happy with their products but they won't actually bend a windshield, will they?
