ers under the trade name Transwind, which then expanded to large onroad transportation vehicles.
With corporate offices located in Bradenton, Florida, about 35 miles
south of Tampa, their focus has never been stronger than it is today.
Water Bonnet currently supplies windshields to some of the top producers of fish & ski, runabout, and tow boats, while continuing to develop
and improve their unique products — like their patented, budget-priced
“ball & socket” joint windshield or their very fashionable and extremely
popular low-profile dark-Plex® and dark-glass windscreens.
Water Bonnet maintains their low price structure by setting reasonable
release minimums on most orders. But it is exactly this that makes them
such an integral part of the Taylor Made Marine group. While Taylor and
Trend provide highly-customizable options with minimal volume requirements, Water Bonnet’s price structure is undeniably worth exploring for the medium-to-high
volume builder of small-to-medium sized boats
who is confident in a certain level of sales —
especially if they want top-of-the-line quality
but need to maintain a firm bottom line.

sized boats, Water Bonnet’s price structure is hard to beat
• Water Bonnet is second only to Taylor Made in number of years
experience producing windshields for the Marine Industry
• Water Bonnet continues to develop a unique line of products
specially fit for boats in their target market
• As the newest member of Taylor Made Marine, Water Bonnet’s
customer support network, engineering capabilities, and product
offerings are now more significant than ever before
