Another vote of confidence for the canvas shop at Melvin Village Marina. I just had a badly worn original equipment front cover redone there, and I like the new one very much. They matched the material and color of the rear cover made at Village Canvas 18 years ago and still in good condition. I would have had it done in May, when I was towing the boat for launch anyway, but they were very busy then and suggested later, so I just lived with the old, deteriorating cover until boating was over for the year. Recently I called to see about dropping off the boat after haul-out and cleanup. Despite being told that they still were quite busy, and that I might have to leave it for a week (which was fine with me), turnaround time was just a couple of business days, as it wasn't all that big a project. They changed the design of the center pole support from the original projection through a grommet to a nicer looking snap-under design. That was a nice touch.
