been lurking around for some time and learning from the wealth of info here. i recently purchased my first boat although i have been on the water for some time with friends and family.
i chanced upon a repo'ed 1995 baja .22 caliber twilight cruiser and picked it up for $4k. pics are on my SkyDrive

it was dirty and starting to grow mold on carpets but i beleive i have that squared away. the previous owner rebuilt the raw water pump but didnt hook up the hoses afterward and the batteries are dead. also the drivers windsheild glass is missing. those are the only issues i have found so far, however i am sure i will find more.
does anyone know where i might be able to find a drivers windshield glass for this?

The windshield is most likely a Taylormade product. I don't recall their contact information, but a quick internet search should do the trick. I contacted them directly for a piece of side glass and they were very helpful.
Good Luck!

That could be a TaylorMade, or Aldon windshield. The 272 corner glass listed above will not fit. We originally designed the 272 with a 600 series Aldon windshield, and the 22 TC used a 800 series windshield corner. Aldon was purchased by TaylorMade some time ago so that is the place to contact now.

If you find a Baja 232, or 252 windshield they should be the same corner glass.

ok so i took the new boat out for a run today and she did well. she started right up had good water flowing out of the pipes.
i did however notice the the speedo and trim gauges are inop. and my manifold drain plug on the starboard side is leaking some water.
i also figured out that i have a manual switching exhaust yet have wiring for a captains call or similar. its fun to find all the little quirks about it.
so now its time to winterize and fix everything i found then hope nothing major pops up come spring
i wish i would have had more time to take some vids of her running but i got to the ramp late after some tow vehicle issues.
oh well i will take some vids of her shined up and running right come spring.
