| 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! ------------- ErnieJ |

87 on top, 85 on the bottom. Different deck angle and different windshield

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? |
