Windshield on Coral 202

[stikbo]

Guys- Has anyone replaced the windshield and frame on a Coral with 2 individual windshields? I assume this would be a custom job. Any ideas? Thanks!

Good question stikbo. I have a 2000 Coral 202 and of course love the boat, but the weakest part of the boat is the heavy windshield. I would love to take it off and have installed a bass boat style windshield that would come up high enough to offer protection on both sides and also look really sleek. If anyone has any ideas or if anyone has already retrofitted their Coral, speak up and show us some pics.

Thanks,

The reason for my post was that I had found a Coral for sale and the owner had removed and discarded the windshield. After searching this forum I found this company that could cutom manufacture 2 single windshields to your specs.

Here's some pics of a Coral w/o the windshield.

I'm hoping you found it here: http://www.bbcboards.net/zerothread/164607 B-T-W, nice looking Coral!

Cool, I have never really seen a Coral up close. It looks like to could make some windshields that are like the ones on the Gamblers and it would look pretty cool. Nice Boat!

Hey Dan- did you get my second email about the 3 boats you looked at??
Because a day or so later, I got a notification one of my emails was returned due to bad or no longer working address. It had a Comcast address. I didn't think about it at the time, but I believe it was my follow-up reply to you??????

[stikbo]

Hey Alan- No I didn't get a second e-mail from you. If you still have it forward again to danteets@comcast.net

I missed out on the white/red boat pictured. Actually booked a plane ticket on 1 days notice on the sellers promise I would have first shot. He called the next morning to tell me never mind a guy was on his way with cash to buy it. Sold it for $8k and I was out $250 for the ticket. Grrrrrrr. Still stings.

If youre still looking for a boat like this, call Carolina Boat & Cars at (803) 802-4460. I drive by there everyday on my way to work and noticed (although it needs a little work) a boat that looks just like the one pictured, with the windshield still on, for sale in his yard. Its even red and white. They were closed when i stopped by to look at it on Sunday so am not sure of the year. here's his website too. Just ask about the Coral he has sitting over near the RV's.
