A few months ago I decided to completely redo the canvas and frame on my Starcraft Islander. After some looking around I visited a canvas maker in Webster,NY, but the reception was less than welcoming and it seemed that the owner really did not want my business. So I continued my search for a canvas maker. Silver Fox and Tom from Eastfork Marina both from Sandy Creek mentioned a newcomer in town by the name of Reese. They told me that she had returned from Florida where she had for years been a canvas repair, upholsterer and sail maker. I decided to give her a try. She directed me to a frame maker who works out of Youngstown,NY  , who made me a new stainless steel frame for less than a third of the price that the Webster guy had offered,partly because I drove to his place instead of having to come out to Sandy Creek. He made the frame on the spot , while I waited. I drove back home with a new frame and a very satisfied feeling. Then she made me all new canvas. So now my 1989 Islander looks real nice again. 

Thank you Reese and John.

If you are looking for canvas or frame repair, just send me a pm or open question on the board and I will gladly give you their number.
