Anyone know where I can find a replacement for my Port Front Windshield. I contacted Taylor made and have a part number but I have to go thru my local dealer. $1500.00. Ouch. I have been looking for a scrapped boat or junkyard but none of them seem to be able to help.
Any ideas anyone?
 
Ouch is right!......i have not bought a lot of used boat parts, but when i did a google search for 'used boat parts' i got a lot of hits.....you may have to start there and just go through the list until you get lucky....you can also google 'boat liquidators' and call some of them.....

good luck with the 'hunt'.....been-there-done-that when i needed a new/used fuel tank last year.....ended up just buying a new one for $600.....

Thanks Cliff. After Boat US paid, I ended up getting if from my local Sea Ray dealer. It is ordered. I'll have to install myself but I think I can handle that. $500 is my portion after the insurance payment. I'll be a lot more careful around the windshield from now on. LOL.BTW- I checked from Florida to Boston out to Nevada for about 2 days. The dealer was the cheapest. No one else had one. Could have had a plexiglass windshield made but that would have been around $650 so even I figure I'll replace it with what was there.
 
How did the windshield get broken? (I just want to make sure I dont do the same thing...).

Also, do boat parts yards exist like they do for cars? Seems fairly difficult to find things. i know searay keeps the parts manuals updated pretty well. http://www.searay.com/Page.aspx/pageId/10530/Parts-Manuals.aspx

I bought my boat used and it was missing the wood trim part for the glove box area. I was lucky and it popped up on ebay, bought the entire side of the dash for just the glove box door. What are the odds of that part popping up? miracle.
