Default New Sundeck

So I have a 2001 Four Winns Horizon, and the Sundeck is to to be rehabed or completely replaced. I have sport seating so this is a full depth, full width sundeck.

I have been in contact with the dealer and they are quoting me a price of 625$ for the new Sundeck complete and ready to go....

I am thinking that even if I reuse the material I have, to get new plywood backing, restitch all the panels, and get the whole assembly back together, that I might be looking at it costing just as much. Only to face the material giving out in another few years

What to do????

What kind of material is it? Some sort of molded plastic like most swim decks now? If so, save your self the headache and time. Buy new and bolt on.

I think he means a sun platform that covers above where the engine is not a swim platform.

From what I understand about sun pads above the engine that price is a good one. A few years ago I was looking at a Glastron and it needed a new sun pad and I was quoted over $900. If you are talking with MV I am confident you will get excellent quality work from their canvas shop.
