Does anyone have a canvas resource other than great lakes boat top? Their prices have almost tripled. Looking to replace the Bimini (2003 sea ray 260 with arch)…front and rear of the arch. Thanks

Their prices have far from tripled... I just bought a new factory bimini and cockpit enclosure from GLBT via @KevinC .
 
They have. I was quoted approximately $900 last year. Same specs are $2000 now

Thanks @HawkX66 !

@BennyC1960 - Please send me your info on our online request form at https://www.covemarine.com and I will contact you to review and discuss the pricing for your 2003 260 Sundancer (I know the boat quite well as I owned one personally).

My company Cove Marine is a distributor for GLBT and I know their prices did go up - but not that much. Perhaps something else changed or was misquoted. Before the most recent price increase this September the prices had been stable for almost two years.

You should also note that if you were dealing direct our CSR member discount should offset some of the most recent price increase.

@BennyC1960, This issue bothered me so I took a quick look at some old pricing on that model. Something is not right as the retail for the bimini (front of arch) and sunshade (rear of arch) from early 2019 (before two price increases) was still more than 50% of what you say you were quoted. I think something may have been quoted in error or something was left off of one of the quotes.

Either way I would be happy to provide a quote and/or review the old ones with you if you would like.

-Kevin

Dude, you should take Kevin up on his offer to check this out. Posting here doesn't provide any detail as to what you're talking about. He can get you setup right. Many people here are happy with his service. Take advantage.

That's a 25% increase (same as I noticed), not more than double like you suggested earlier.

As George Dubya Bush used to say: that's fuzzy math
 
For anyone looking for canvas, I place an order with @KevinC (Cove Marine) like a month ago, and it arrived today. It could not be an easier/smoother deal than working with Kevin.

This is for an entire canvas enclosure plus bimini top, in Toast Tweed which was supposedly getting scarce

Needless to say .... super psyched and thanks Kevin!
