No, mine is not as bad as the picture shown but I really do not want it to get that far either. The fabric is fine, no rips, just seems to be ripping at a few of the seems with the worst being approx 6 inches long. I really do not need new fabric just a re-stitch. Might as well have it all re-done at the same time. I took it to a local canvas shop just to get a ballpark and they gave me an estimate of $225 to $350. The boat is in getting winterized currently and am undecided on whether to have this done this fall or simply wait until spring.

We had the vinyl sunpad on our old '05 275 completely restitched and it came out great. We also had the vinyl on the bench seat replaced (only the white part) and it matched the other seats within a month or so. You would be surprised how good a restitch (with better thread) will come out when done right. Paid around $300 local for the sunpad which included them coming out, taking apart the sunpad, and brining back the restitched vinyl and putting it back on.

I still not have fixed this and want it done over the winter.
XT, if I drop just the lid off over the winter what kind of turn around time are you looking at?
I am not sure if I want to shrink wrap the boat with or without the lid on.

Wayne, we could meet up and you could give me the lid. I will be driving down to XT in the near future when my interior is done, and I could drop it off for you... Save you the drive..
Let me know!
