Default I need to replace a window on my boat, where do i begin to look?

Hey guys,
I have a 91 23ft VIP Vindicator. The starboard side corner window on it is broken. I am guessing I am going to have to deal with a boat salvage place or someting to find one. Does anyone have any info on how to start looking for this needle in a haystack? The window is curved and not flat so I don't know if that is better or worse. It is plastic and not glass as well.
just thought I would post it up and see if you guys know of somewhere to look.

Thanx for your help!

Sean

You'll have to have it made. Do you have a picture?

You should be able to go to a local glass shop and have it made. As long as its flat glass it should be easy!

I am not sure how much help this would be, but most of the boats I have seen have windows manufactured by (or for) TaylorMade.

Any shop that deals with plexiglass can make one. I've had several windshileds on older boats done.
