A lot of people around here have covers made for their
boats that will go around the front deck or a rear deck,
custom made of fabric and heavy flexible clear plastic sown together,
and it usually snaps and zippers in place. I don't know what to call
them. What I'm mainly interested in is the plastic. Can anyone tell
me some specifics about it so I have an idea what to look for, and
maybe even where to get it?




Ask around for someone who does "boat canvas" - they will have, or
know where to get, that plastic.

You might also look in the Yellow Pages under "Plastic" for suppliers
of plastic sheet and other materials.




Shops that do custom convertible top replacements are another source of
high quality flexible clear plastic.

Though do beware - use the 0.04" thick "sheet" plastic, not
stuff off a roll for best visibility.
