Recently purchased a 1981 Ranger 188V that is mising the windscreen and related mounting hardware. Ranger Boats' site is useless for much other than self-promo. Any tips on where I might find a replacement for this particular item? It's tough navigating when your eyes are watering! :confused:

I'd go to the Ranger dealer in the area .. they'll be able to hook you up with what you need.<br /><br />looking for that specific windscreen could take you ???.... until hell freezes over on the net .. plus you could go goofy looking for it.<br /><br />good luck

Re: Ranger windscreen

Because you are in California, there should be alot of Plexiglas places that do custom forming, I had one done here at a local glass shop for a skeeter I had, those older rangers were pretty straight forward when it came to the windshield designs, shouldnt be a problem finding someone to do it for you.<br /><br />Ranger dealers will be of little help unless they will tell you of a shop that can make one for you. None of the Bass Boat manufactures that I know of keep windshields past about two years if that.

Re: Ranger windscreen

I had to order a windshield for my ranger yesterday. Call 1-800-724-7273 this is the ranger ordering dept. They have two older model windshields in stock. They can e-mail you pictures of them. What you want might be part number 6900051.

Can I ask what that set you back? One of my windshields has some busted areas. It's still fairly solid, but if those aren't too expensive, maybe I'll replace it.

I hate to say, but that isn't as bad as I figured it'd be. Still a bit pricy for a piece of bent plexiglass, but like you said, "It's a ranger part!"

Re: Ranger windscreen

Let me know if you are still looking for a windshield. On my 97 ranger i think the guy i bought it from had the windshield replaced . Over the weekend i took it off for cleaning and noticed a decal on it, with onfo on who made it and where.
If you need i can look at it and post it for you.

Re: Ranger windscreen

If nothing else it would be good info to have. People like to grab the windshield when moving about the boat. Even though I get on them, I know it's just a matter of time, before one busts.

Thanks!!
