Post by: krapmit 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 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. >:(

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:
