My old HydraSport bassboat has never had a windshield. A place where it might have went only. Is it possible to heat up some plexiglass and make one? Anywhere to order these things made up? Any info? Educate me...<br /><br />Thanks... Gary

Re: Making a windshield... Is it possible?

Guvner,<br /> It is quite easy to make a windshield. I have done it for my boat. You could also check out ebay to find a ready made one that may fit. Just check the measurements on your boat before searching or bidding. If you wish to make your own I have a write up of how to do it on the Fiberglassics website. To get to the writeup go to http://www.fiberglassics.com and then go to their How to, tips and tricks section. There is a writeup for making an oven to bend plexiglass as well as how to make the form and windshield.
