Full Camper Canopy for 1997 Sea Ray 330

[Haden]

I called Great Lakes Boat Top yesterday to get a price for a new canopy including frames. My wife is wanting the full camper option for winter boating in Alabama. I was told that they do not offer a camper option for a 1997 through Great Lakes. She told me it would be a custom order. Can someone point me in the right direction, or a company that offers a custom canopy?

If it was not factory, then you do have to have it custom made. You need to find a local canvas/upholstery shop. As far as I know, there is no one that makes/ships custom canvas.

Same boat and same situation here. I just ordered a new canvas set from Great Lakes and plan on trying it this season without the camper style aft.

I found a place locally that can do a custom camper aft, but not sure it is worth the cost.

I had a custom camper back made by a local shop for my 270 AJ. It hugely improved the utility of the boat for us. It was about $3000 as I recall, but we had some other work done at the same time. It was made to fit the zippers of the existing bimini. We had screens built in let air in a bugs out.

Like I said, it was a game changer for how we used the boat. The only thing I would have done differently would be put a zipper in the screens so they could be rolled up same as the windows. It was made with a fixed screen sewn in.
