I just purchased a 1985 19' w/ a cuddy cabin. I would like to pay
someone who knows what they are doing to install new marine carpet
that matches the carpet in the cuddy. Before I start looking for
quotes I would appreciate it if anyone could tell me how much is
reasonable and likely vs. what is a rip off.

Also I need to replace the canvas on the sunbrella type system:
bimini, sidewalls, and aft cover. The bars that hold the canvas are in
perfect shape. I just need the canvas. I would really appreciate any
recommendations.

If you lived in Denver Colorado, I could give a name.

Don, I'll wager two boxes of frozen squid that Señor Gould doesn't have
any business recommendations for the OP, even though this is right in
his
neighborhood, *and* it's boat-related. :-)

You've done it now! he'll dig out every business card in his shoebox and
every marine related directory he has just to prove you wrong.
He is getting better though... he delivered my last lecture in 500 words
or
less.

I am open to recommendations. I had someone quote 1700 for the carpet
- I'll get the exacto knife out myself for this, but hoping to find a
pro at a reasonable price.


Other than binding the edges, installing the carpet is easy. You can either
buy a roll of paper used for making patterns for vinyl floors or just cut it
in place. Then glue the carpet in or get the edges bound and install snaps
to hold in in place.
