Boat Windshield Replacement ?


Raycaster

Recommended Posts

Just purchased a used 2003ish Legend Xcite 164 and wondering about replacing the console windshield that is missing.

As usual, the funds are pretty low so looking for as economical choice as possible. I’m wondering if a DIY plexiglass heatgun project would do it? I love DIY but if it’s going to look sketchy than not a option.

Custom windshield online sound scary $$$ so any suggestions are welcome.

Maybe scouring boat graveyards might be an option.

Actually took out yesterday on choppy Hamilton Bay. Over 20mph quickly with 2 people total. Not sure if windshield would of prevented me from getting soaked but would look better for sure.

On a side note and not on topic, the 16ft Legend leans heavy to the right. I know a 200lb. driver doesn’t help but the other person 150lb. sat on left side. Also had 2 heavy trolling motor batteries in front left side. There is a empty live well on left side might level boat a bit. Will have to research more, will be looking for comparable boat during summer to ask Owner questions.

I inquired at the plastic place downtown Hamilton and waiting for the email reply. I think a 45” x 20” piece should be ok.

Did up a quick design and looks not too hard.

Will probably round some corners too.
