UPD Plastics Boston Whaler Windshield for 150 MONTAUK, 170 MONTAUK, and OUTRAGE of various years

Postby dbtfree15 » Thu Aug 15, 2024 4:01 pm

Q1: will the 2010 MONTAUK 170 windshield sold by UDP Plastics that is also listed as a confirmed fit for model year 2007, 2008, and 2009 150 MONTAUK boats also fit properly on a 2006 model year 150 MONTAUK?

My understanding [of the windshields on the 2010 MONTAUK 170, on the 2007-2008-2009 150 MONTAUKS, and on my 2006 150 MONTAUK] are all the same up to model year 2015. But I am not sure.

UDP Plastics told me to decide myself [if all those windshields are the same].

Q2: what is a different source other than UDP Plastics for a windshield for a 2006 150 MONTAUK THAT YOU HAVE ORDERED FROM AND HAD IT FIT?

Q3: will a UDP Plastics windshield for a 2006 OUTRAGE (of unspecified length) be the same in model years 2006, 2007, 2008, and 2009?

ASIDE: I see [somewhere unspecified that] a lot of people have had [good] luck with [ordering a replacement windshield for their boat from] UDP [Plastics].

ASIDE: I can take measurements. I could have a local shop make a windshield for me.

The windshield for the 2010 MONTAUK 170, which UDP Plastics lists as fitting the 2007-2009 150 MONTAUK boats, should likely fit your 2006 150 MONTAUK as well. The design and dimensions for the 150 MONTAUK from 2006 through 2009 are generally consistent, so it's reasonable to expect compatibility. To be absolutely certain, though, you might want to measure your current windshield and compare those dimensions with the windshield for the 2010 MONTAUK 170.

For alternatives to UDP Plastics, consider checking with companies like Taylor Made Products or Attwood Marine, which also offer marine windshields. Great Lakes Skipper is another reliable source with a broad range of boat parts. Make sure to verify the fitment details with these suppliers before purchasing to ensure it matches your 2006 150 MONTAUK.

Regarding the OUTRAGE series, the windshield design can vary depending on the length and specific model of the boat. If you're looking at a windshield for a 2006 OUTRAGE, be cautious about differences in design across the years and lengths. Precise measurements or direct confirmation with UDP Plastics will help ensure that the windshield fits all the model years you’re considering.

Many boat owners have had good experiences with UDP Plastics, and their reputation for quality is well-regarded. If needed, measuring your current windshield or having a custom one made by a local shop can also be a practical solution to ensure a perfect fit for your boat.

I think you just got a reply from an AI BOT.

Hey thomasandrew:

Are you an AI BOT?

Did you use AI to help write your post?

Now that you mention that, you’re right. The bit about the outrage should have been a giveaway. Didn’t know we had AI bots in this neck of the woods!

What I thought was unusual about the reply:

  • the spelling was perfect;
  • the grammar was perfect;
  • the punctuation was perfect;
  • the topics covered were in the exact same order as mentioned in the original questions;
  • the remarks were rather generalized; and,
  • the recommendation to check with other vendors who CLEARLY are not making windshields and certainly would not have them in-stock for delivery seemed quite strange.
This sort of perfect writing just about NEVER happens when a boater replies to another boater, and the reference to other vendors who wouldn't be appropriate seem to reveal a misunderstanding.

Also, for a first post, it was quite elaborate and lengthy.
