I just got a price from the Canvas Store. I saw them at the boat show back at the beginning of the year and he said he would honor the boat show price of $1963.00 AND come out and measure the boat because he doesn't have a pattern for my boat yet. Because my yard makes us take our masts down, he sells a conduit adapter kit for $120 to build a frame. Oh, and they have the "Cover guaranteed for life of boat ownership!" (I downloaded the show map from the boat show website and figured out who they were!) Fairclough said if I wait till January 1st they'd give a 20% discount, which brings them down to about $2350 with the frame. I'd say I spent about $250 last year on the PVC and tarps...yea I went through 2 of them, and what a pain in the butt getting in and out of the boat and covering back up... Danny
