Unfortunate weekend mishap - my son was raising the boat on the lift, and got distracted. The windshield shattered. I think that the frame is ok, so replace glass may work, but if someone has the entire windshield, I will take a look at that, as well. Any help is appreciated!

I have a complete windshield from an '87 2001 Nautique that is available. I've not checked the fit for an '85, but I'm sure one of our fellow forum members can help. There's a lot of super knowledgeable folks that contribute here!

If you have any pictures and dimensions, I can compare. Thanks for the quick response! I am checking for compatibility. And look to hear from someone more knowledgeable

One other thing that's hard to see in the picture but the 87 has 2 piece front glass and your 85 is one piece.
82 through 86 probably are all the same.

I thought that CC made some modifications after '86, but was "hopeful" with the '87. Thanks again!

Not really, I think The Man has the initials TRB and I just fill in as a backup while he's busy doing things like earning a living and raising a family. Being old and retired, I'm past that earning a living stage of life and have more time for hobby stuff like this

No, we don’t get old and then retired… We just have a better opportunity
to expand on our hobbies! |

Thanks to those that have responded... Clearly, my "hope" is that I can find a replacement windshield, however, in the event that one is not available... is there a seasoned repair/restoration veteran in CC land that can think of a viable alternative? Is there a potential for a plastic replacement?

I know of a 1985 ski nautique windshield, but you need to call me ASAP.

Just saw your post. Hope you've found a windshield.
If not, below is the item number for a 1986 Ski Nautique front windshield and two side windows. eBay item number:388031805323 Good luck with your quest!!!

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() And if the ebay windshield falls thru i have one in excellent condition. Its removed, wrapped for transport comes with the rest of the boat and original brochures/paperwork on a #3 prop gaurd trailer for 1000 dollars, enough parts to keep your 85 going for another 40 years. Titled registered in my name, have keys and it runs another big plus, it's not an oil leaker. |

Thanks for this... I checked it out. I do have a line on a replacement from an '85 - I am waiting to get shipping details, but it is getting difficult pinning him down. I may be back if I don't get some concrete answers soon.
