89 Capri windshields...Where to get them??

[LakeShaker]

I just picked up a little 89 Capri 14-15' Bowrider I guess that would be like a 1450 maybe. I not sure my first boat and figured it would be a good little boat to start with and learn a little on the way, it's got a 65hp merc on it and that's another story I'm working on(but it runs good) but I'm wondering where would I go about finding the windshields for this boat? Right now it has a walk-thru where the center piece hinges out of the way or makes a full windshield. I think these came with like 2 small dark screens (1 on each side) didn't they?? I can't seem to find many pics to go off of but I think I remember seeing one like that and I sorta like that look compared to the full one, anyone know where the best place is to get them ? Or would I be better off having some made by someone? Are they even still available?
Anyhow if anyone knows plmk . I have been reading alot on here and have learned quite a few things already , but I know there is still alot more.
Thanks in advance,
Bill

These guys carry a lot of Bayliner stuff - http://www.greatlakesskipper.com/
Also eBay has many items- can't go wrong looking around there either. There are many places on the net as well. Just Google up marine windshields and you'll find a bunch. Or look here :http://search.ebay.com/bayliner-capri-windshield_W0QQ_trksidZm37QQfromZR40QQssPageNameZRC0023

I also have an '89 15 footer with a merc 50 I use for a small pond missing the same windshields. Great Lakes skipper does not have them. I doubt bayliner still has them in their parts inventory, but it does appear that there is an aftermarket company making them, check out ebay item 160124746584

They do not function as normal windshields (they are way too low), if anything they help with glare on the gauges. Your probably better off not worrying about it, especially if you think you'll catch 2-foot-itus and want a bigger boat down the road.

On thing bayliner does still have is the color match gelcoat repair kit for the '89's you can use to cover the screw holes where they did attach.

I think there is at least one complete Bayliner windshield (used) up for auction this week on EBAY....late 80's. Search under 'boat parts' and 'bayliner' It appears a guy is 'parting out' a capri so give it a whirl. Certainly worth checking out.....it might be what you are looking for.
Good luck.
