I am going to remodel my canvas on my new to me 1999, 460 DA and would like to offer for sale the exisiting. The canvas that is on it (Black) has only seen 2 summers (16 & 17) in northern Michigan, as it was new in the winter of 15/16.

The entire system included from the arch back is Sunbrella PLUS for the top with 1-1/4" SS framework. The system was designed and installed with a longer reach from the arch for more coverage and less angle on the aft curtain. There is only 1 support due to it being the 1-1/4" tubing.

In addition to the entire enclosure, there is also a full set of screen inserts that replace all of the canvas pieces. This is great for those warm evenings the deserve air flow but you don't want the bugs.

The canvas is in superb condition, the main support tube is 1 piece from the arch back with 1 crossover support and 2 verticals at/near the base of the arch. Here are a few photos to get you started and I will get more when I am on the boat this weekend.

Hmmm, Not sure. The boat was a 1 owner boat and was originally located on Harsen's Island just north of the Mt. Clemens area in Michigan. There is not a manufactures label on it but I will try and ascertain from the original owner if he knows. It was quality work that's for sure!
 
That is custom made canvas and frame from a skilled canvas shop. Somebody paid big bucks for that.
 
Great Lakes told me there is a tag sewn inside the zippered pocket that holds the bow or rail. It would be on the front bimini top pocket in the center, just above your visor. That sunshade looks just like mine but without measurements, I couldn't be sure. The aft sunshade should have the same tag in the bow pocket in the center back, if they came as a set. I'm curious what you find out.

I see a few clues that suggest it was done by Miller's Custom Boat Top. They're in Belle Maer Harbor, just across Anchor Bay from Harson's Island.

Yes they did!! This is the 3rd set of canvas the previous owner had on the boat. The first being the factory original Tan color...about 6 years later he changed it out to white stamoid canvas, then lastly in the winter of 15/16 he changed it again to the black Sunbrella plus. I loved his tenacity for keeping it looking sharp!!!

And here I am changing it a 4th time to extend the cockpit space and add more isinglass to the stern. It is costing big bucks for this change, but we practically live on it in the summer and we entertain a lot and having more space isn't a bad thing...cheaper than a bigger boat...LOL!!!

The canvas was made by Russ at Canvas Connections in Richmond, MI.. There were no tags stitched into it anywhere so I had to ask the previous owner.
The screens were added last summer by my local shop, Grand Traverse Canvas so they didn't come with the original system.
 
I've seen this boat and it's impeccably kept and this canvas package no exception. $1500 is obviously a steel as it looks brand new. I had over 6K doing a similar custom design on a 370 dancer. If you are considering this proceed with confidence you won't be disappointed.
 
Yes it is.
