I have a 88 240 sport with a windshield. Would a windscreen off a - Baja 23-26-30-35 Outlaw or a 25 outlaw fit as a replacement? Would you have to drill new screw holes or do they line up? thanks

It is VERY important that your request DOMESTIC CAST ACRYLIC. This particular acrylic is much stronger and will not craze in the long term.
I replaced an original cracked and crazed smoke colored windscreen with an opaque solid black. It gives the boat the appearance that it was molded with the rest of the boat, it looks sweet.
I would suggest drilling your own holes, just be slow and careful.
Edston Plastics in Detroit did one for me and it turned out great, but if someone has an original mold, that would seem to be the right way to go.

I have 2 questions or comments 1: when you say he has the mold for the original windscreen do you mean windshield, because a 240 sport has a glass winshield with a aluminum frame. My second comment is I also wanted to put a Fairing on my 1989 240 sport off a 90's era 24 outlaw and found that the corner on the stock dash would get in the way of the fairing. You would not be able to unscrew the screws to remove the dash. the dash is differant on a 90's era Outlaw. Of course modifications could be made to allow it to work but this is what i found

IMO, the plastic Outlaw windscreens would only be pure luck if they would be able to screw to the glass surface in front of the current framed windshield, and I don't think the end result would look good. (you would also have many holes to repair) The only other model the 88' Sport 240 shared a windshield with was the 87' Sport 220. Here are a couple photo's to help clarify the confusion:
