Author	Topic:   Windshield
rsgwynn1	posted 11-27-2003 03:29 PM ET (US)         I have an old McKee Craft that I'm converting to center console. The console is by Todd, but they don't offer a windshield for this particular model. Is there a company that can make a windshield to order?

It cost me about $150, I think, to have a windshield made to replace the broken whaler factory windshield on my console. The new one is identical in every respect except I had it made abpout 5" taller. (Labor is more than the cost of the plastic.)
rsgwynn1	posted 11-28-2003 03:35 PM ET (US)             Thanks. I'll ask around. I got a flat piece of smoked plexiglass for $10 and may just screw that into the console and see how it looks. I had a similar screen on an old side console bass boat I once had. It was fairly thick and didn't flex or break in several years of heavy use.
