Boat Windshield - Acryllic Shop?

Anyone have a good recommendation for an acryllic shop where I can take a boat windshield to have a duplicate replacement made?
NOLA or Northshore area preferably

There are some online companies that you can get one from, when I sold my Skeeter I replaced one prior, somewhere in Arkansas if I remeber correct. Gave all boat info to them and took a couple weeks.

Who was the original windshield manufacturer?
Team C&O Marine in Tennessee has an extensive collection of windshields for an extensive line of boats. They'll ship to you. I think they even have molds and the ability to make a mold from broken parts of a windshield to remake discontinued ones.
It's who a lot of Champion boat owners use since they stopped manufacturing the whole boats in 2010.
Ask for Carrol "The parts mom" if you call.

Monticello?
That's why I asked who originally made his windshield. They made a ton of them. Their service is kind of rough though.
C&O knows their parts inside and out and are super helpful. They carry all of the ones made in Monticello and others.

Second C&O marine.
I am one of those Champion people you mentioned . They had exactly what I needed, Carol was great to deal with, and I got it very quickly.

I just got one from UPD Plastics. It took a few months but was an exact fit for my Nautic Star 2200.
I opted to not send mine to them..2 of the mounting holes were slightly off so I had to make a minor modification on the center console.

I recently used this place for a 1998 Kenner 23V, they had to custom make it since that boat wasn't in their catalogue. Cost was right at $450 with shipping, and brackets. Came out perfect. obviously not local to NOLA, but they were easy to deal with.

I see Redios beat me to it, so i second UPD plastics!

Thank you all for recommendations. I tracked down the company who made the windshields for this boat builder but they don't do retail. Boat builder is a smaller brand that has changed hands a few times over the years and just recently sold two months ago and are in the middle of moving production to another location in Florida. According to FB groups the new phone lines aren't even being attended to at this time. I'm going to try and buff out the windshield and see if that's an improvement. If not I'll probably move on to the Windshields by Lawrence guy as sending off the current windshield and having the new one shipped back may be cost prohibitive.

My neighbor used him, he wanted a windshield that was 7" higher than the one that came on his boat. He brought windshield on boat to Lawrence who made a new one 7" higher. New one fit right on his boat.

I had a windshield replaced by the place in Monticello Ark for an Xpress X19 I had. Had to send the old one to them. Was happy with the work and turn around time.

Do you remember the overall price for shipping and new windshield? Trying to figure out if the juice is worth the squeeze if I have to go that route.

For Lawrence, my neighbor has a 24' Nautic Star. The windshield he had made that was 7" higher cost $280. This was in 2020 so price probably has gone up some.

Used custom mold and tint in the past, was very pleased with the finished product. Was a pretty large windshield for an offshore boat. Fit and finish were perfect.
