Hey guys,
My name is Sean, I live in Northern Ohio. I have a few different boats and among them is an old 19 ft capri. It's an outboard open bow fwiw. I bought it for $200 last summer. It needed a transom and i've always wanted to try and tackle a transom repair. I figured for $200 I wasnt out much if I failed and if I succeed I would have a decent hull. Well, I succeeded on the repair and had it on the water a little over Labor Day.
Now that winter is here I am working on fixing all the broken stuff and making her shine like new again. When I got the boat it had about 3 different windshield kinda pieced together to represent a windshield. Half of the glass was missing and it just plain looks awful.
Here is where my question comes in....... Will a windshield off an 88 19ft open bow i/o fit onto my boat? I have a chance to buy a perfect windshield off a guy down the road who is parting out this boat. He bought it for the motor and gave me a very fair price and said I could take anything off it but the motor stuff. I am going to completely strip the interior and inventory everything and use what I can. Visually the windshields look close but I don't even have the whole original windshield on my boat to compare.
If anyone has any info on this I would appreciate it. I don't post much here but I am a constant lurker. I usually can find the answers I need with the SEARCH button but I am striking out on this one.
Thank you very much for your help!!
