Fountain Windshield
 
I'm looking for a windshield for my 2001 35' fountain lightning. Any one know where I could get one at a semi reasonable price. Fountain wants $5,000 plus fright. I think it is a taylor made but I don't know the part number to get one from taylor made. Any help would be appreciated.

any decent plastics place, a friend of mine had one done for a crownline ltd. compound curves etc, came out perfect.. $500

Thanks but I'm looking for the whole windshield. The powder coating is starting to bubble and really bother me. It is the first thing that catches my eye as soon as I get in the boat.

Why not remove it and have it repowdercoated? Going to R&R it anyways.

I can't see it Taylor made. More likely Fountain made.

Thanks I'll look into repowder coating it and see if I can find a place locally.

This is not a Taylor product. Reggie makes them in house. As stated already... Look into removing and just powder coat them again. Go over the job with fine tooth comb to make sure coating is nice and thick and even.

Biggest pia is getting it off and back on the boat without scratching the boat. Need maybe 2-3 people for removal and re-installation in my opinion.

They sell weather stripping parts also but again, it's not a "kit" so you have to cut everything to length. So, don't destroy your old stripping if you were thinking about re-sealing the windows. Mine leak like no tomorrow. The rubber has actually shrunk up leaving gaping holes between the metal frames and the actual window..

Thanks I looked at great lakes but they didn't have any 35' lightning windshields. I think I might see about repowder coating it.

Leave off and built a custom fiberglass wind screen a little lower. Looks cool.:party-smiley-004:
