Anyone know if this would work on an '89?

The owner says he bought it for his '85, dunno if that's helpful or not.

I saw that. I just don't know the differences (if any) between the design of the pop top on the '85 and the '89.

We used to own a pre 89 and currently own an 89. It <u>may</u> fit the general shape of an 89 deck, but the snaps are definitiely not going to match-up.

I would advise against it.

Are the snaps in a well known pattern anyway, or will you always need to potentially move snaps around when getting a new pop-top cover? It seems like a lot of the finish work on these boats was done by hand (look at the mast gates for instance) and doesn't have consistent dimensions.

The snaps never match up. At least from what I've heard.

my snaps didn;t match. then again, we never needed to button them up. the corners matched and the rest layed on the deck. They make snap extensions to use and avoid relocating buttons, or pull the buttons and relocate: top or cabin. As I understand the poptop is the same for all years, with a change moving to the C250 model being much different.

ZI don't have snaps anyway so it's a moot point for me. If the canvas will come close to fitting I'd be happy. I might place a bid just for grins.

The price is beginning to get too close to the price of a new one. I won't go much higher than the current price of $255.00.

You might be surprised to see how many people bid products up to higher than new!
