i had a full stand up enclosure with a drop curtain to cover the back of the boat on my 16ft tin boat about 5 years ago by geordie magee,i believe his shop is in brewerton,but he has a trailer he works out of,he does most of the canvas work for the marinas up my way.it cost me 1800 bucks.

I had an extended two-tone top, strata glass front, isinglass sides and rear, two piece sides, drop curtains, exterior handrails for going forward, trim banding to match boat.

Not sure what size boat you have but I took my 18' Crestliner to Olson Bros in Derby and they had someone from Rochester come in and make me a convertible Bimini with zip off windshield, zip off side curtains and a skirt for the opening under the windshield. Quality is great and comes in handy for sun, wind in March - April and rain. Dropped it off in the morning and it was done by dinner time.

Just a personal FYI I had over $5,000 of canvas work done by Geordie Magee and although some of it has stood up well over time the last mooring cover I had made by Geordie himself the thread has deteriorated in about five years from UV exposure. I hope he has changed his thread by now something to ask if you decide on that option. He is a good guy who has been at it a long time so I'm not bad mouthing him or his business but given the high pricing of this stuff ($1,000 for that cover) it is something to consider and inquire about before "jumping in".
