72 mx 16 windshield

[Lake Rat]

I'm currently rebuild an Mx 16. Have everything but the windshield. The plastic is no problem, the upper and lower aluminum molding is what I really need........anyone got them?

I've been to a couple boat salvages and all over the net and it seems that original windshields seem to be hard to come by. I have an MX-15 and have decided not to put a windshield on it. I have seen pics of the original one and it looks very goofy. I would much rather have a custom one made for it when I can afford it and there are places that will do that. Something a bit smaller and more asthetically pleasing.

I agree, tha' windshields of the past are too big and look like crap. Design your own, it cannot look worse.

Agreed, the windshields make the boat look like a big dork. Bugs dont really taste that bad.

im looking into picking up an mx16 here pretty soon. i just want the motor. i could sell you the windshield if i do purchase it. the transom is shot so...........

hey brian, the transom is gone. it would have to be totaly rebuilt. otherwise it is in good shape. the trailer is solid aswell. the motor is mine if i purchase this boat. what would it be worth?

I have the original one but the frame is somewhat hammered keep me in mind if you end up getting the boat.
