Default Camper canvas

Hi, I am new to the club and did not find anything on the site about camper canvas.
I own a Mariah 1993 mx20c and am looking for instructions on how to install the camper canvas or any pictures of one installed would be helpful.
Thanks ,

    I dont know if there is anyone else on this site with a boat similar to yours and with a camper top installed but you can look at my photos in the gallery and there is one there with my camper top showing. I've attached one other one below.

    You will need to find a local marine upholstery facility and have it custom made.

    Depends on what material you use & how busy the shop is. At this time of year they are likely starting to get quite busy with the boating season approaching quickly so the $$ will be higher. I believe i paid $2400 about 3 yrs ago for my entire canvas set up here if that's anything to go by.

    Keep in mind that I have a 30' boat, but my front and rear canvas snap on trailering covers, bimini and bimini boat were $2300, no clear vinyl or zippers

    Clear vinyl and zippers are usually the most expensive parts of the tops. Your best bet is to wait until the off-season. Canvas shops are usually begging for the business during that time of year, so prices are usually a bit lower. If you're doing it in-season, you'll definitely pay a premium.
