Marine Canvas
Marine Canvas
Money all saved up and buried in the yard, I'm going to have a top made for our big boat. Does anybody have a reccomendation for a canvas shop in Skagit County? I have contacted a few shops but business must be booming, nobody seems to get back with me.
Anyway, looking for the full-meal-deal; top, stainless bows, bimini, front connector, side curtians, aft drop curtian, slant back, a storage boot and a forward cover. Hopefully I can find somebody that specializes in marine canvas.

Look for Wannafish A Lure on FaceBook
He said, “Throw your net on the right side of the boat and you will find some.” When they did, they were unable to haul the net in because of the large number of fish.
Re: Marine Canvas
We had to have some repairs to our boat canvas two years after we bought our Hewescraft. It turned out that Hewes used regular cotton thread rather than marine grade thread, so my only advise would be who ever you choose to do your work to ask about the thread and snaps being used as this is a large investment an should be done right the first time. The only shop I will ever use again is Mild To Wild Upholstery in Spokane. Good luck and stay safe.

Re: Marine Canvas
I'll second the cotton thread bit, my Custom Weld came with the top sewn with cotton thread, it started to rot right away and consequently I've had to have my top re-stitched with nylon thread. buying a new top from the manufacture is considerably cheaper than having a top made but then you run into the problem of what thread did they use..........hewesbob wrote:We had to have some repairs to our boat canvas two years after we bought our Hewescraft.

In Whatcom County, I'd recommend North Star upholstery. They are west of Ferndale a few miles from the 262 exit.

Re: Marine Canvas
I didn't have anything done as extensive as you are talking about. Couple years back I had a back curtain done for my Sea Hawk by Churchill Brothers at the Port of Everett, not Skagit Cty but pretty close. I thought they did real nice work for a reasonable price.

Re: Marine Canvas
We typically use King Marine out of Ballard. They will travel to the boat which is great if you cant bring it to them. They are great people and they do a really nice job! Highly recommended!
