Boat canvas recommendation in pugest sound area?
« on: February 15, 2016, 09:28:11 PM »
Has anyone done some hard research with boat canvas shops in the Puget sound area?  I'm needing a bimini and enclose done on a 20 foot alumaweld.  Looking for a good value!

I had a guy do one for me north of Olympia many years ago, the price was good and he did a great job.  I can't remember his name but might be able to narrow his location if needed.  Also had a guy do my sides and back for my Alumaweld, he is in La Conner, he did OK, and was a decent price w/o much of a wait.

You are probably looking at $1600-2000, I would guess.

I built a hard top for mine since noone seems willing to use waterproof zippers for the front entry hatch and those little flaps don't seem to work well when using the boat through the winter.   >:(

A friend had his 34' Meridian done a couple years ago by a guy here in Kingston and it's holding up really nice. I can't think of the name right now but I can get it tomorrow for ya.

 The Boat Top Shop http://boattopshop.com in Tacoma has done some great work for me, very reasonable as well. Tonneau Cover and a couple repairs to seat cushions that got ripped by dropped sturgeon tails all turned out fantastic. :tup:

When I built the top for my boat I used this product and couldn't be happier.

Used the Weathermax 80.
