1966 Jupiter Restoration

[mccurtis]

Hi Guys,
I am new to the forum and look forward to this experience. I just bought two Starcraft boats. A 1969 18' Offshore V and a 1966 Jupiter. I would like to know if any of you might know where I could get a windshield for it?

Thanks. ----- I will post some pictures in the future.

Two? Welcome!

In your profile let us know where in the world you are. Sometimes we find out we are neighbors. Original windshields are rare. If you have the frame you might be able to replace the plex. Every once in a while an ebay windshield turns up, I have a daily search set for SC parts. Looking forward to pics.

Check the thread in my signature to see my '66 Jupiter restore. I was able to adapt a standard bowrider walkthrough windshield to it and it looked awesome.

If he can scare up a photo of the whole Tin Family, an award is in order.
