windshields

[racerx]

still looking for some glass for my 92 cuddy. if any of you newer guys have any leads it would be greatly appreciated. also, if any of you guys have a 79 thrue 84 v20 cuddy i would realy appreciate some measyrements across the bottoms of the front glass. that way i will know what models will fit. i know pre 78 will not fit. tx

[phester]

what about an '86 cuddy? I'll measure mine if ya want

[racerx]

appreciate it bud but, not neccesary. 86 is same as 92, or so i've been told.

[msbhammer]

RACERX, what ever happened to that boat STINKY found ? you buy it ??

[racerx]

got the cash in hand, still waiting on the dude. even if the deal ever happens, i still gonna need glass for my 92! oh yea, i finally got a name for my welly. see it on just about every other truck in town here. just hit me as the perfect name for my katrina ravaged rig when i was leaving home depot yesterday...DISASTER RELIEF

How long can you wait. I just picked up full set glass and frames off boat at Budget Boats in Chesapeake Va. Plan on updating my old ones on 73. When I do it . Frames are not bad but the gaskets need work. Will they work for you??? ??? ???

[racerx]

dont think so bud. as near as i can tell, there are two types of windshields, pre 78 boats have a larger center and smaller sides, and 78 up has larger sides and smaller sides. or vice-versa i am not sure. i only know this from looking at pics in the gallery. i do appreciate it though. BTW, how much did you payfor ur glass, if you dont mind me asking? tx

RX I have an 83 and i have the rough measurments. The side panes are 30" across the bottom X 24" tall X 25" across the top. The center pane is 23" wide X 24" tall. These are not exact as I did it in the dark, can get more exact if you need it.

[racerx]

tx fatdaddy, sounds like a match! i got nothin left but the bottoms of the frames to measure. iget, on the sides, 30 inches. then between the two sides i measure 22 and 1half inches. plus the couple inches you got to play with when you mount them.... this is great news. if a 83 will fit, that much more likely that a 79 will!!!! and i know this realy GREAT GUY (charming, good looking, just a super dude) that has a set. ;) ;)

cool, cant wait to hear from LES.

[racerx]

woohoo!!!! it'll be next week tommorrow!!! when ya comin home les?


i'm so excited......i just cant hide it......i'm about to lose control and i think i like it........

I have a boat spotted in Port Lavaca, Texas. I don't know what year it is but I heard he would take a couple of hundred dollars for it. All I need is the sliding hatch on the cuddy cabin. All of the glass looks intact from a distance. One side is leaning in but I think the support wall under the steering wheel is loose. I will try to see the boat on Monday or Tuesday.

[axespino]

I am supposed to meet the guy on Thursday to check out the boat.

[racerx]

cool axman, i will call in sick tomorow and set here in front the cpu all day waiting to hear. well, maybe not but, sounds great bud.tx

[axespino]

The boat is a 1974 model and all of the glass is intact. I don't remember what year models you were looking for. Later

[racerx]

dadgummit! nope, 74 wont work. but thanks for the thought, and the effort. MULV.......!

Yo Racer, I took measurements today when I stopped by my parents. The width of the front panels is 30" and the side is 53" I took some pics and will post them after my mom uploads them from her camera that I borrowed to take the pics.

[Mulv80]

The center section has been replaced with plexi-glass by the previous owner. the frames have some corrosion from saltwater and one side has a hole where a windhield wiper motor was installed in the frame. I have no idea how you are ever going to be able to have these shipped in one piece but I'm all ears.
