300 bucks to anyone who can tell me where i can find some used windshields for my v20 at a reasonable price. this is a serious offer. my boat is a 92 v20. windshields were produced by water bonett and the part number is 7284B. fabricator finaly got back to me *today. he said he could build them for me. it will only cost about 2400 bucks. almost worth the drive to florida just to slap that sucker in the mouth. again, this is a serious offer.

first please get rid of the C--K word!!
I am sure if there was a place to get one some one would tell you for free!!
Now I know water bonett is still in buissnes, but I hear they don't do windsheilds any more but they might be able to help??
If not, buy a junk V20 or other boat, take measure to have on hand anytime you see a boat that looks like it will fit.
here is there site!! http://www.waterbonnet.com/

i also sure that someone who knew would tell me for free bud. but if some one doesnt know, and would put thier own time into looking, it would only be fair to compensate them for thier time. and i am more than willing to do that.

I have a windshield off of a 1979 V20 Cuddy. The center glass is plexiglass but the rest of it is in good shape. Where are you located?

Also tell me if the windshield is the same as a 80's V20 Cuddy. I see an old I/O V a few miles from me that has been sitting for years I can stop in and check if he wants to part it out.

I have been searching for a windshield also. Just lost my '89 in a storm on Cape Cod last week. 7 inches of rain , pump failed and 6-8 foot waves in a protected bay flipped her. Lost my 2001 150 Ficht, windshield, sliding hatch, fish box cover, etc. I am willing to work on the boat, but finding a windshield is key. Any help is much appreciated.

racerx, still working on one guy with one right off a V20.
Here's another one that I'm pretty sure is very close in dimension. I inquired about it before. It wasn't what I was looking for though. He was asking $150 then. If he still has it, I'll bet he'll take substantially less. He's nearby me and MJ too. Send him a PM through THT and he'll get back to you.
