Hi Brats!
I just had custom canvas made for Valkyrie. Although the King Marine canvas was good quality, it was too short for my 6'3" and didn't extend far enough aft for enough shade or rain protection.
The new canvas is free-standing and doesn't have to attach to the cabin top, but can in case of rain. Also, it has 6'8" of headroom and extends all the way to the transom.
It can be folded back or forward against the cabin for more room when we are after Lake Erie walleye or fishing in the Keys or SC.
The sides are screened and the back panel snaps down at mid-splashwell, giving the cockpit a very roomy feel.
I also had the guy make snap-on screens for the forward, opening window and forward hatch. The factory side window covers were modified by adding snaps because the velcro kept falling off. Also, at midpoint, double sided snaps allow them to be folded back to allow for ventilation for the side windows.
I've just added some photos to our album showing the detail.
