bahia mar windshield

Does anyone out there have an old bahia mar windshield frame that their not going to use? I'm dealing with American Marine Products in Fl. on trying to build me a new one. The problem is that they're needing some kind of template to work from and they can't find anything in their files even though they've built a few in the past. I'd be more than happy to pay for it and will have UPS pick it up and return it after we're done. Anyone ever see anything more eye appealing than the original bahia windshield?
Maybe something a little more custom?
Thanks in advance.

John, glad to hear you are looking for one. I saw Lisa the other day, and she was still asking, "Where's the windshield for that damn boat?"

Brian,
Maybe a month or so. I'll call you and see when you might be going down there. I'll go down there myself if the time frame won't work. Thanks for all of your help with Salvador. I owe you.
Mike, Tell Lisa to drop dead. Thanks in advance, Mike.
Going dow

I have one, off the boat, glass is cracked. Was going to have them build one for me in the future, but I can get it to them nowif it helps you out.
I do like the look of the side pieces that extend further back than the stock windshield. Email me or call me on my cell if you need to. 704-806-3085.

Rick,
I remember a couple of you guys getting them built, but, they are swearing upside down that there's no records to be found.
Bill, if I can't hook up with Brian, then I'll give you a buzz. I really appreciate the offer. Bill, just give me a few days to see what I can work out.
Much thanks.

John,
Check out the 31 Bahia Mar from East Quoge NY., I believe American Marine Built it as well. I spoke with them about one for my Bahia Mar and they quoted 5K and I needed to supply the template. I like Brewsters Hard Top for that kind of $.. BH

If you want another option I believe this is who "Holtz Marine" recommended a while back.

AC77,
I called Aluminum 2000 the last 3 days and am playing phone tag. Maybe we'll hook up today. Thanks for the link.
Rick,
I called American Marine back and told them about your invoice. They said that they're still going to need some type of template. I'm kind of scratching my head on that one, but, at least there's a couple of old ones out there that I could send them. Thanks for your help, also.
