Just remember iboats doesn't have a sales, giveaway or swap section, solicitation is prohibited.

May have to buy a derelict boat w a windshield that fits or can be made to fit your holiday.
Frame & windshield or just glass?

If you only need to replace the glass, and it's flat panels, local glass place should be able to order replacements. Or fab plexiglass, polycarbonate or lexan DIY.

Replacing windshield on 1964 Starcraft Jet Star

I think the time for replacement is finally here, after struggling to see through my original 1964 windshield for another boating season. I've done a fair amount of research on different methods and how I think I'm going to do it but given the materials cost, I want to proceed carefully. This...

My windshield is not glass, assume plexiglass. How ever. Would later walk thru windshields for a 18' Holiday work on the earlier Holidays?

Look thru holiday resto topics, if it fits the width of your holiday, can likely be made to fit yours.

Problem is that later holidays tended to have a flatter front deck, your 63 probably has some crown to it. Hence Made to Fit. Not a plug and play swap.

I used these guys: Custom Mold & Tint Inc. - Need a Quality Product?You've come to the right place! send them your broken windshield and they send a new one.

Never use plexiglass, it scratches very easy ! Use polycarbonate ( lexan) far more resistant to scratches. You can even purchase " hardened" polycarbonate that makes it more scratch resistant. If you choose to use any type if plastic over glass, be sure you follow instructions on cleaning it!

With as popular as StarCraft is, you can probably get one from UDP plastics. They make them custom and then keep the pattern on file after that. Expensive though. Some glass shops can do them as well if they work with plastic
