Mike,

Thanks for the kudos. Actually, if you use the green canvas to make boat covers, you're potentially doing the customer a disservice. Unfortunately, the greens are much more susceptible to fading, which leads to drying out of the fabric, and then cracking, and ultimately the cover fails. Colored covers are fine for a vessel that is going to see covered slip time for storage. The light grey we used, is the material of choice for a boat that is going to see a lot of UV exposure, like this owners will.

And the Bimini top we had to customize a little bit to fit/work with this boat. The boat owner purchased a "universal" Bimini, and it was about 3 feet shy of the windshield. So we had to set it up right for him, which is typical of these universal products.

This job cost the owner right at $400 for all covers, stainless hardware, poles, vents, installation, etc. And the boy's happy as all get-out

-Josh

Well, we do them. Just don't "like" them They're tedious, and not a lot of money to be made for the work that is involved. We can do it for you though, Mitch!!
