boat canopies

[derekh]

just had a quote to replace the canopy on my 28' Sunseeker. £1,800 plus vat . I thought £500 would be quite enough. How much should they cost ?.
canopy starts above windscreen and goes over radar arch where it has a zip and a removable rear portion which is fixed to the rear of the boat with bungie cord and plastic pillars. there are two pvc windows in the front portion.

Sound about right. There's a lot of work in measuring, making and fitting it. Have you tried Jim Baumann at JB Yachts Services 01489 572487. He'll give you a good idea over the phone what it should cost

Sounds about right to me. I paid £1300 12mnths ago for a 26' boat.

Canvasman in Leeds - prob a bit far for you though. Very impressive at the price you are looking at. I think I paid £2k, but that did include a new tonneau and all the poles, coz there were no poles.

Scroll down for pics of Chris Salisbury (canvasman) fitting mine. Job done in a day - with a heap of impressed boat yard owners watching on.
