Looking for an old windshield

[sly_karma]

Got an old Starcraft 14 ft with a closed bow and curved plexiglass windshield. The windshield has cracked in half and needs to be replaced. Boat dates back to 1974 as far as I can tell. Brought it home from the sunshine coast where it normally lives so I can do this work before it goes back to island life in August. No luck with OEM suppliers, custom units very expensive, around $700 US. Anyone got an old one around they want rid of? Current unit measures 59" wide at the base, but the deck layout is such that I could get away with anything 56-60". wide.

Have you expanded your search to include old car windshields? There's an interesting use of an old Alfa Romeo windshield here:

I'd make one. Acrylic bends easily with heat. I'd use the old one as a mold and bend 1/8 acrylic around it with a heat gun. Unlikely to get it perfect, but would be much cheaper.
