A while ago there was a post about getting replacement glass, I believe they were located in Tenn. or Kentucky. Cannot find who the company was. Any help?

I had all glass, side, and aft curtains made to spec for my 1999 268 by FW. Cost was approx $1200. I was put in contact with FW dealer (Skipper Buds in Marblehead, OH) and they ordered from factory. Had all shipped to my house.

If you have a radar arch you might look at Great Lakes Boat Top (google search). They made original tops for Four Winns boats like the 268, etc. with an arch.

If you do not have a radar arch you might check with a Four Winns dealer. I was told by my dealer a year ago that Four Winns made the tops for non-arch boats and can supply replacements. At that time they quoted me a little over $2100 for the 268 camper enclosure (bimini top, front, sides, and back. I believe it included frame and hardware.

In either case the tops are made to the original pattern. The installer will most likely need to install the snaps on the lower edges that attach to the boat.

As others suggested, you may want to check with a local shop for anything custom.
