I think a cover that is in good shape can have a few extra snaps and it will be OK

What the heck -- I may be interested as well for a group order w/Gary for '89s. Let's see what the cost is and then consider going forward with it.

Okay Sam...Howard....I want to get this old top out of my garage.

Howard, do you want it to get a pattern then send on to Sam, or should I just send it on to Sam myself?

Joe

I can pick it up from you. There is a guy in the Yacht club that has just started to sew boat items, I can get it to him to see what he can do or take it to a regular awning shop. I think I would like to have one that has zip out windows with screens.

Howard...send me an email and we'll get the top sorted.

Sam, send howard your mailing info so he can send the cover on to you.

Now that I got my new (it really is nice) cover let's get this sorted as well.

I have the cover and it is still in the bag. Boat goes in the water today so I will be able to raise the top to try a fit. The mast is laying on the top now. If it fits I will go to a shop to see about having one made. I will get cost and time to deliver. Sam, I will ship to you soon-I hope. Not sure what changes have been made to cause the changes in the top. After talk with the shop I will post cost. I plan to have removable windows with screens if possible.

Sorry to jump in here, but mine works real well on my '84 with screens and a roll down flap with velcro seals.

It would almost have to go around so if you got in a blow the flaps would stay down securely and not let water blow in through the screens. The black outline around each window plus on the flaps appears to be velcro to me.

I tried to fit the cover to my boat yesterday and it was short by several inches. None of the snaps were close. I think it has shrunk over time from not being installed. Sam, I will send you an e-mail about getting it shipped to you.

I like the window roll up system. Years ago, I had that on a power boat with zippers and it worked well, guess Velcro would be as good

The story of the traveling top continues...
Top arrived-in very good shape. I did the magic Sam cleaning and it really looks good. Then decided to check the fit and I joined Howard in the "does not quite fit" club. I did the stretch a little and it almost fit. I am going to let get a little sunshine and see if it expands a little. More later.
