Whaler Central - Boston Whaler Boat Information and Photos

Posted by Gambier bouy on 11/26/13 - 9:42 PM

I had my windows on my 2000 BW 21 Conquest smashed out during a storm last month and I am having trouble sourcing the two front curved windshield panes that make up the front windshield as Boston Whaler no longer makes them. Any help finding replacements would be much appreciated..

The windshield OEM was Taylor Made of Gloversville, NY. I own your same boat and still have the OEM markings on the windshield.

Thanks all for the quick info..Mambo is there a serial number on the window?
So far I have not been able to fine OEM parts only custom built...I will try Taylor made.

Thank you

Contacted Taylor made and the responds was as follows Thank you for your inquiry. Unfortunately, we are unable to sell Boston Whaler parts direct, you will need to contact a Boston Whaler dealer to order. I apologize for the inconvenience" Dealership said not available any more. Any other thoughts from the forum???

Thanks for any thoughts!

Contact your Whaler dealer. Provide the email from Taylor and request they order the panes for you. They should accommodate you as a courtesy for the cost of the panes plus shipping and tax.

If your dealer won't can't help perhaps a member in the Seattle area can give you some help with a local to them dealer.

I would try but Alabama is not a convenient commute for you.

Actually, contact a different dealer, one that is more helpful. As a last resort, you can also contact Boston Whaler Customer Service and describe the situation.

For a helpful Whaler dealer I suggest contacting Twin Cities Marine, and Sue Lodel, their Parts Manager in particular. They can ship parts to you or, more to the point, have Taylor Made ship parts to you.

Thanks all for the above suggestions...I will talk to my dealer and Boston whaler service department and see if I can get the windshield that way. I have talk to a local custom manufacturer of windshields here in the Vancouver Canada area...they can make me a windshield but it won't be the same shape as the original and I think this will destroy the look of my Conquest and maybe the value as well but I may not have a choice.

Also just received a email from Ocean Dynamics and they said that they can fix my frame and supply the glass so i will give them a call.

Sure hope I can get a windshield the same as the original!

Thanks for the help
