I have a Hewes Redfisher 16 and would like to have a custom windshield/grab rail made for it, similar to the ones on Action Crafts. Anyone have any experience with something like this by chance? Any recommendations on who to talk to in the area that could possibly make something for me? Thanks for any help.
I used a company called upd plastics and was very pleased. You have the option of sending them the old shield or following a detailed set of measurement instructions. I chose the latter and the shield was perfect. They keep a file of all the shields they have made. I checked the site and although they spelled Hewes as Hughes the site shows a 1998 16 ft Hughes Redfisher (call for availability) so they may already have the measurements. Hope that helps. I worked with a guy named John Carney.

There are always greater fish than you have caught, always the lure of greater task and achievement, always the inspiration to seek, to endure, to find.
I can’t help with the windshield, but I can do a grabrail for you.

Megabite - thanks for the info, upd sent me the measurements for the one they have on file. Looks like it will probably work. Bob, will be in touch if the windshield works out.
