Title: Canvas Tops..
Post by: Sam3 on April 19, 2011, 06:48:00 AM

Anyone recommend or know of a canvas installers? Sides are OK, but the top really needs to be replaced.

I have a GW 22' Seafarer.

Sam,
There is another person on Howard Blvd, close to 80. Her name is Darleen, the name of her place is Sew What. She works out of her house, but she doesn’t want to do any more big jobs. I used her two years ago to do a cover and she did it while I waited and the price was right. She didn’t want to do my windshield and side curtains so I used Batten the Hatches. I have used both of them when I worked on the lake years ago and both do nice work.
Hope this helps.
Rick

BTW your in box is full!

I called Maria, she was up front on an estimated cost and I liked that. However, I don't know if if it's worth doing a bimini w/full enclosure.  :P
She suggested a bimini (from Overton's)with a cockpit cover that she could make. It would be half the price for this versus what I was looking for.

Inbox is empty now.  ;D

That is what she told me. I picked up a new top then she made the sides and front for me.

I'm probably going to go that was also. A four figure replacement just isn't in the budget right now.

If these are the sides and curtains of the Wellcraft then I can also attest.  They are holding up strong and a perfect fit after the winter layover.  Actually glad to know where you got them Rick, I might do a full rear enclosure as well.
