    Does anyone out there know where to get a replacement windshield and frame for a '73 tournament skier? I'm in Manitoba, Canada so that might make it more challenging.

    Thanks

    You might be able to call UPD Plastics they make windshields for the older runabout Dynes from the 60s and they might be able to find something for you.

    Are you the same Eric I traded E-Mails with a year or two ago? Is your boat an I/O that you added a fin to on the bottom? Just trying to figure out if you're the same fellow. If so, hello again!

    Yup, it's me. Although I still haven't got the fin installed because I have to modify my trailer to get the boat to sit on it with the fin. This of course means I need to do this when the boat is in the water and then I never seem to find time to do projects, just ski, lol.

    Cheers

    I did check out UDP plastics but they don't have a template for this boat with its unique deck/dash bubble. I haven't been able to make them a template drawing yet since my boat is stored about 1000 miles from where I live. If anyone has sent them a template that would be great to know.
