    Question windshield on my boat.

    i had a chair fly off of my old house boat last year around november and it busted the driver side windshield out. my ex took the insurence off my boat that i didnt know about so instead of forking out a lot of money for a new one can i take all the glass windows off. i have a 1988 dyna-trak fish and ski. dont those windows on the sides and front come off some how. or will i have to fork out the money. plus i was thinking it will open my boat up and give me more casting room with out the windows getting in the way. any info will be great.

    thanks

    You should be able to take them off with no problems.

    my boat is a fish and ski 1988 dyna-track and would it mess up the boat if i took all the windows off. i just thought instead of paying money to fisx it i could take them all off plus it will give me more casting room it will open the boat up more.

    Re: windshield on my boat.

    I had a Fish and ski a few years back and (same thing) I kept hooking the windshield on my back cast. I took both windshields off and it made the boat a lot more fishable. Did this with an older bass boat at had at another time too.
    I would probably get a price from an automotive glass company to replace your glass so I knew how much it would cost. (They can usually cut and fit most flat glass). After I priced it or got is replaced I would remove the windshield and fish. When I was ready to sell the boat, I'd put it back on.

    I have a walleye type boat with walkthru windshield. The widshield was a very important consideration in the purchase. The boat is so much more comfortable in cold weather and even cool night operation. I would fix mine if it were to break.

    The flat glass is very easy to replace. I had the front replaced for $40 at an automotive shop.

    I have an 86 fish and ski. The first thing I did when I got it was take the windshield off. Much less clostrophobic that way.
