Need a complete windshield for my Wellcraft Excel 21 1995

[Antti84]

I am in need of a new windshield(walk thru) for my Wellcraft Excel daycruiser 21 from 1995. Right now both frames+windshield has been stolen from the boat and I bought it as it was. Never knew that the windshields were so expensive before I bought this project.
Can anyone tell me where I could find one?All help is appreciated

Your boat came with a Taylor windshield. They are not particularly cheap, but if you want the proper replacement, go to:

Thank you for your answers guys!Yes they are not so cheap, 3000++dollars + freight to Scandinavia, that?s not cheap at all I think DIY would be way too hard though.
Here is a pic of the boat as it is.

Here you can see a picture of an Excel to see the shape of the windshield

I am located in Finland, Europe Do you have any adresses to salvage yards in USA? I have to search from USA since the boat is American.

Here is one in Ocala FL. Search Craigslist in Ocala and it should pop up. Your windshield was made by Alton not Taylor-made. I had the same boat and it was an Alton windshield.
