TAYLOR MADE SYSTEMS UNVEILS NEW SPORTBOAT WINDSHIELD

GLOVERSVILLE, N.Y. – November 14, 2006 – Taylor Made Systems recently unveiled the company’s new Eclipse windshield.

A fresh addition to the Taylor Made Systems family of products, the Eclipse windshield is manufactured for both aluminum and stainless steel header profiles. It incorporates many unique design features, including an innovative, deck mounting system, which allows for a more streamlined appearance. Developed for sportboats and towboats in the 18 - 28 ft. range, the windshield boasts more glass than any windshield in the Taylor Made line.

“Current market trends suggest that boating enthusiasts are seeking aesthetic value in addition to quality construction,” said Mike Oathout, vice president of sales and marketing for Taylor Made Systems. “As a result, the Eclipse windshield is design centered. Our engineers at Taylor Made focused on form, flow lines, elegance and energy. The curved silhouette resonates with movement, and the design features less metal and more glass, giving boats the sleek, modern look that is so popular in the automotive industry. It’s important that we focus on style and performance and the Eclipse windshield will help boatbuilders achieve that end.”
