TOPIC: Windshield,used,please?

Hi! I have a 16' 1964 Mermaid runabout, that has a crazed shield. its about 64 inches wide at the sides. i either need a replacement, or some input on how to remove the crazing. it still is clear, but distorted from the crazing.i think it's a protective coating on the lexan, or lucite. Any input?

you might want try cleaning it like i did to my windshield . Gil

i started with 800 grit to 1000 to 1200 to 1500 to 2000 , then i used number 7 rubbing compound with my 7 inch buffer . i went to number 7 polishing compound with my orbital sander with a foam pad , then i used this stuff call KIT scratch remover with the foam pad then just a good coat of wax . i know theres a bunch of exotic plastic polishes out there but i had to use what i had and could afford . it cleaned up pretty good .

here is a during and after of the windshield . it came out ok good enough for now . now i have to cut the rear windows out of the wraparound pieces . Gil

wow, I love the walls in ur garage... and thanks. I will remove it soon, and try that...

64,if buffing doesnt work get ahold of dave albertson"cc1000" on here,or go to his website ,"nickle city classics"he has many nos windsheilds for sale,most are for custom crafts but he might have one that fits your boat,john,ps he has glass and plexiglass windsheilds.

Thanks John,

I was gonna post, but all I have left is 70" and 72" windshields.

Plenty of those, but no smaller ones.

What type of shield. I just posted one for sale this morning in the "Glassifieds"

Sabre, I tried to post a pic, but i cant resize down. Its curved,1 piece.64" at rear . I'll go look at the ads.wow,Sabre, That will work. I want to try buffing first. If that fails, I will be in touch. Cant be cheap to ship to Pittsburgh........

64,are you from pittsburgh?im not that far away im from indiana,pa.
you should come to silver lake ,its a classic boat meet june 5th in ny.

Yes, actually from Penn Hills. I'd be interested in that trip. I THINK I can now post a pic...

there ya go,you did it,if your interested theres a guy down the road with an old scottie craft that has a windsheild for it,he wants 100 bucks for all,boat ,motor guessing a 1950b johson,and a old trailer,but the tounge is bent,he might even take less hes had it awhile,john

I may look ya up soon. My sister lives in indiana, on n.3rd. I work alot of long hours. Hoping to have this boat painted soon. I get up to Yellow Creek State Park often to fish. I have a SOT Kayak, a 10' Jon-boat, plus this Mermaid. Had a jetski and a sailboat,too. Had to sell be4 I could get more boats. (wife) LOL
Note the arched shield, not a flat bottom. Thats been the problem, I find used shields, that wont fit.
