80’s Nautique Windshield For Sale

80's model windshield for sale. I've been able to post one picture here that shows the windshield on my '64 Dunphy X-55. It was put on the boat by a previous owner and I want to replace it with one more close to the Dunphy's original gla$$.

I would like to end up with $200.00 after shipping costs (whatever they end up being) so the price is $200.00 PLUS shipping.

The gla$$ is in very good condition, the frame paint has minimal wear but could be easily touched up. I have removed it from the boat so now I know how it goes together and comes apart - it's very simple; once unscrewed from the deck, the 2 triangular side screens slide out of a track in the large center one. Pretty slick!

I can e-mail nicer close up pics and a scanned dimensions diagram I drew up to show all dimensions upon request.

Oh, the manufacturer was Water Bonnet.

Here's the photo:

you should give the dimensions for the width, that looks like a 82 or newer windshield.

83-88 might be right it's at least an 83 and not any older.

This is 64X55's windshield

That may be true. Im not sure if the side gla$$ has a window that opens, but theyre definitely not 1-piece on the 82-83 Ski Nautiques:

Hey Craig, I might be a player on that windshield. Depending on where you afre located and what kind of shipping costs we're looking at. Let me know what you were thinking on the shipping and if you're close enough I could come get it or meet up with you.

Might get time to check into this tomorrow. Sorry for the delay!

Im guessing your winshield has been replaced at some point. All the 82-83 windshields in the diaries have the side vents.

Hey Jim ('70 Mustang),
I checked at the USPS and then at UPS on shipping. Looks like UPS is way cheaper. Using an estimated box size of 70"x24"x6", which is probably a bit large, but would allow for good padded packing, they gave me a price to a Dallas zip (they just picked one since there are 4 or 5!) and it came up to just under $60.00.
U.S. Postal would have been closer to $90.00 (Parcel Post)!
Anyway, that UPS price included the few bucks for insuring a $200.00 package value that I would want to do. I told them it was a 'FRAGILE' package. If I had your exact zip, I guess I could pin it down closer to the penny, but I would think that's a good ball park figure.
So you could figure about $260.00 would be your cost. Let me know when you get time!

X55, phatsat67 busted his glass on the trip home picking up his new 86 2001. The 86 is the windshield without the vented side glass. He's in Indiana. Check the "general discussion" forum.

Sounds good phatsat67!
Sorry about the broken one. That was probably frustrating! If it makes you feel better, I've seen a windshield smashed on an "in transit trailered boat" once before, but the windshield was smashed by the weight of the boat being upside down on top of it! (i.e. the whole boat was a goner!)
Anyway, it's still here. I'm guessing postage to Indiana may be a tad cheaper than to Texas as in the example above. Gives you something to "guesstimate" by.
Let me know.

Could you estmate the shipping for me? Its to New Castle, IN 47362

Thats a pretty good deal for 60 to out there. I think I will take it shoot me your phone number and we will talk. Thanks. Oh yea can you also send me the pictures and the diagrams that you speak of so I can just make exactly sure its going to fit? My email is zapritchett@hotmail.com.

Cool craig Ill call you tomorow sometime.

Wish I could post my dimension diagram. Maybe I'll give it a whirl again. The pic I posted was just by clicking the "upload image" icon (above) and then, once uploaded, clicked "add image" icon. Tried others the same way and it didn't work. I a$$ume its a size thing. Sorry I'm slow; had a busy couple of days! I'll get the dimension info. quick as I can! From memory, I think the width at the base of the windshield was like 65 3/4" and the back of the triangle pieces was 72 1/2" (of cours that could, I guess adjust as those pieces will pivot in the tracks of the main gla$$ where they join - hope that makes sense).
