Default 250 shabah windshield

I have a 1999 250 Shabah, wondering if anyone has a windshield or if anyone knows if any other years or models may fit.

Thanks!

    Pretty much need whole thing, only glass not broken is driver side glass. I may be able to straighten frame to use but do need glass. I have been looking at a lot of Mariah pictures and don't see many of them that have the stainless steel frame like mine. Not sure if mine is Z model, what is the difference? Was the stainless steel frame a extra charge option?

    Good luck with this request. As common as this request is, there is still no simple solution. Windshield glass is the "Holy Grail' of Mariah parts.

    The windshield glass / frame was likely made by Taylor-Made. With Taylor-Made your only hope is finding that part number which is usually in the form of a sticker located on the inside bottom of the window frame or actually within the window glass track itself. Given the model year of your boat (1999) there is at least a chance that Taylor-Made will have the glass molds once you provide them with their model tag.

    If you do a site search here for 'glass' you will find numerous threads discussing the problems members have had in finding glass. Its not impossible though, there are usually 2 or 3 ads on eBay with Mariah glass for sale although they are $$. There are a couple of shops that can make glass (Ocean Dynamics and Marine Glass Specialties come to mind) but you will need deep pockets to afford their prices. And, they will likely require your window frame to be used as a mold.

    Also, try to keep an eye on our own Marketplace because you may find someone parting out their boat that has glass that will fit. My guess is that a similar style Mariah in the 23-26' range might work.

    The only other option i can think of is making your own out of Lexan or acrylic. One of our members did this and you can follow what was involved here.. Your option with this is finding a plastics company in your area that works with either acrylic or lexan (acrylic is a bit better because of the UV protection) and seeing if they can mold a piece to fit your windshield frame.
