Canvas top replacement
« on: Jan 2nd, 2008, 12:20am »

Hey Garage, do you know of a good canvas shop in our area? I know about Ernies place on the way to the beach but everybody says hes really expensive. Was wondering if you know of anybody around EC or Edenton that does canvas work. Id like to replace my top before spring, its getting dry rotted.

YEA
THERE'S ONE ON THE CAUSEWAY RIGHT ACROSS FROM JERRY MARKHAM'S PLACE (EVENRUDE/JOHNSON MARINA) CAUSEWAY MARINA. I HAD HER REWORK MY TOP.

ALSO THE GUY WHO BOUGHT TRIM'S UPHOLSTERY PLACE IN CAMDEN; I HAD HIM MAKE A SIDE CURTAIN FOR ME.

I'VE USED BOTH AND LIKE BOTH. IT WOULD JUST DEPEND ON WHO'S THE CHEAPEST.

Ps
WHEN YOU HAVE THE TOP MADE HAVE THEM PUT ZIPPERS ON EACH END WHERE THE TOP ATTACHES TO THE FRONT AND BACK POLE FRAMES (AND IF YOU HAVE A MIDDLE FRAME ALSO). THIS MAKES IT EASIER TO HAVE WORK DONE ON IT AT A LATER DATE. i DON'T REMEMBER HER BUSINESS NAME BUT SINCE I'M OFFICIALLY RETIRE AS OF 10:30AM TODAY I CAN RUN BY THERE AND GET THE INFO/PHONE # FOR YOU.

LETS GO FISHING, I CAUGHT A 39LBER LAST FRIDAY OUT AT RUDEE IN MY BOAT. IT ONLY BURNT 14 GALS AND IT RAN FOR HRS, THAT'S 1.7 GAL A HR.
Tis better to be quiet and thought a fool than open your mouth and prove it!!
