Source for c.2008 OEM Canvas Componets for 205 CONQUEST

Postby JMGOIL1 » Tue Jun 13, 2023 7:59 pm

Q1: what is a source for OEM front canvas, side canvases, and rear drop curtain canvas for a 2008 205 CONQUEST?

I only have the Bimini Top and the Mooring Cover. I think the boat originally had those other components of the canvas system.

Most canvas shops sew a label onto their canvas identifying themselves. Inspect the two pieces of canvas you have to see if the shop was proud enough of the work to attribute it to themselves.

A possible source might be Great Lakes Canvas in Tennessee. Boston Whaler was using them as their OEM supplier about that time.

I ordered a set of canvas from Great Lakes Canvas in Tennessee for the 205 CONQUEST, and I installed it this weekend. All parts fit as described.

My 205 CONQUEST, named DILLY DALLY, is docked on the Ohio River, and we're enjoying her every weekend. My wife wants to be able to go to the boat on Thursdays and come home on Sunday.

We are already looking for a larger boat—a used 28 Conquest Pilothouse would work.
