Thanks. I saw some like that, where it's almost like a mailbox opening for the motor to poke its head into the enclosure. It wouldn't be bug or waterproof, though, without some next suspenders/belt layer. But that might be the way to think through it.

The tan one is from C-Eagle. Here are some more pictures showing how they did it. I think they just made the aft curtain "baggy" to allow the motor to push into it, because it also looks like they have a cooler pushing backwards from inside the cockpit at another point (unsure if it's snapped or...

Well I've found the pictures necessary to "prove" it can't be done "on the same plane" (were I able to get on my boat now, it would have been much faster!). I've seen a few splashwell tables that, for a single motor, have a notch cut into the back to allow tilting. That notch is forward of the...

I had this picture saved from the Rosborough owner's group, showing a Marinaut rafted up with a RF-246. Doesn't show a C-Dory, but still might be useful in comparing the scale from a computer if you're familiar with the RF-246 (and perhaps the difference between that and the C-Dory). EDIT-- hey...

This isn't a 22, but shows an exaggerated "triangle tube" effect on the transom that I'd prefer to avoid, but I don't think it's fully possible-- seems you'll always have a little bit of a "love handle" curve on the back even if you stay in front of the rear cleats. So, I'm trying to find the...

Hi. I’m in the process of adding one also. There is a true wealth of knowledge in the forum if you search for canvas, camperback, enclosure, bimini, etc.. it’s been covered a lot over 20+ years on here (treasure!). Different posts use different keywords, so you can capture more insight with...

Twins would likely tilt up into a smaller space within the splashwell, and even this has to curve back up after rounding the lazarettes. There’s also a rack/table inside which might be helping with the flat shape of the aft curtain.

Hello. I’ve been browsing the photo albums and searching for pictures of how the aft curtain(s) attach on a 22 cockpit enclosure / camper canvas / camperback which extends behind the lazarettes. The canvas maker I’ve chosen for my bimini says that he will only make one with the back all on the...

Fourth estimate, this one also about 40 min away and inland: $9k, can’t start until late June. I double-contacted (eg, voicemail and web form, usually) three others I know are still actively working and did not hear back. I heard from an additional one who then didn’t answer my reply to their...

Third unofficial estimate, this one $7500-9500, and about 40 min away/inland. My father kept a boat a little south of Boston and sold it four years ago. He said one of his clear side windows fell off the dock and the local canvas shop wanted $800 to make one! He paid a diver $50 to go fish it...

Ten thousand. And I didn't even spec anything, that was just me trying to convey to them what it would look like so they'd know whether they could do it by summer or not. The "with the frame" guy said his list is starting in May, so it wasn't like some of the other guys who I saw were 9-24...

Second call..... $10,000 !! This one at least included the frame (7/8" stainless, 3-bow) and thinks he could start working on it in May. He said a 2-bow would work if we stop at the splashwell, but if we go over the lazarettes then the 3-bow is the way to go. He surprisingly did one many years...

Well, adding to the canvas thread, I'm in Rhode Island and got my first price estimate for a 3-bow standalone bimini + connector, sides and screens. A well-made but otherwise standard camper canvas (all I gave was the C-Dory line drawings for cockpit size estimates and a photo of a Brat's boat...

Thank you for the time spent on your message and the willingness to assist. But yes, I know I could have figured it out to a close enough range, but I was just looking to gather anecdotal data for a variety of options that I hoped some may have known off the top of their head, perhaps even...

Thanks, all. At the careful hope of not being dismissive of helpful people, I’m just wondering if anyone here knows off the top of their head their own bridge clearance for say a tall arch, a mast, a folding arch, low arch, etc., for me to say “oh ok that would work, I can add “pick radar” to my...
