Hello board I hope someone can assist me in finding a windshield for my 1990 Spectrum Fishing boat. I have tried to search the web it seems I can find everything except what I am looking for. Any ideas? Thanks.

What size, shape, and style are you looking for? <br />How wide and how tall do you want it?<br />Does it mount onto a flat surfaced steering console? Or is it a curved design?<br />Was you original made by Custom Mold and Tint?<br /><br />I replaced mine last year, and know a few places to look. So I might be able to help, but need to know what you need. One place is just south of Milwaukee, others are on the net.<br /><br />And what ya fishing for in Spirit Lake? Muskie? walleye? panfish? A small lake that produces lots of fish.(it's only 20 miles from me, unless there is another one)

I have no idea on what the factory one was like. When I purchased the boat it did not have one but there are holes on the the console for one. It appears to be a small wind deflector more then an actual "windsheild". The Spirit Lake I fish is in north western Wisconsin right out side of Frederick. Thanks for any help.

I too had a Fischer boat and you won't find a new replacement. Better go with Roscoe's source,try ebay or, fabricate one yourself.

If you have a flat top console, one of these should work. I had a 10.5 inch high one, but replaced it with a taller one to keep wind off my face a little better. This is what I bought:<br /><br />http://www.allaboutfishing.com/store/products/product Display.asp?manufacturer=MARINE+MOORING&model=PLEXIGLASS+WINDSHIELDS<br /><br />They have slightly different sizes from the same manufacturer at cabelas. If you need a curved one, or a different size, you can try KenDor marine. They are on the south side of Milwaukee You can call them or stop in, but their website is a waste of time. http://www.kendormarine.com/index2.ivnu <br />KENDOR MARINE CORP. 414-421-4370 You might just want to measure up your console and stop in on your way north.<br /><br />I just ran a search on Spirit Lake, there are 9 in Wisconsin. Mine is about 70 miles NW of Wausau.
