Windshield Replacement

[tmal2]

I just went to my marina to check on my boat and found the front port windshield completely broken. The boat is a 1989 340EC. Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can get this fixed?
At this point I'm leaning towards taking the frame apart and bringing it to a local glass shop. I believe they should be able to cut a piece of tempered safety glass to fit the frame and mount it in the frame for me.
Has anyone else had to deal with something like this before? Anyone have any other suggestions that may be better? Any and all input is appreciated.

Thanks in advance from a very disgusted Captain.

I've heard of others doing exactly as you have suggested. Any auto glass shop can do it.

You have mobile glass repair services in your area like Glass Doctor. I would not disturb the frame for fear of starting a water leak. Leave it to the pros. Just my thoughts.

Does it appear to be vandalism or is there stress on the frame you are not aware of.

This was not caused by stress. The boat is on the hard in the marina parking lot where it's been all winter. Something must have hit the window to shatter it.
