Where to find canvas cockpit top

[hz]

I just picked up a 1969 Reinell RV2200. The top over the cockpit and side plastic windows are shot. All I find on Google are boat covers and that's not what i'm looking for. I guess it's called a convertible top and it zips to the rear cover which is still OK. Anyone know of places online that make them at a reasonable price? I have the originals for a pattern.

Call up a canvas shop in your area. Nobody will ever make new pieces using the old ones as patterns. Just not done.

Probably any upholstery shop could do it.

I have mine in for a foldable bimini, custom job that will fold front or back half only, and fold up to the wake tower, and lay down when the tower is dropped down.

Yes, it is gonna cost me a pretty penny...

But the guy at the upholstery shop can make just about anything you ask of him, if he is good.

Good advice. Most boating areas will have one or more shops specializing in marine canvas work. Contact them.
