Default New 2300SC owner

Dear all,

As a new 2300SC owner, I am looking to replace the old top (wear and tear) with a new one. But I am unable to find proper replacement. As a Dane I am properly using the wrong words for the top in question. Can you "kick" me in the right direction? I need a full top for camping style activities (it rains in Scandinavia).

Your best bet will be to take it to a canvas shop and have a custom top made. That way you know it's going to fit when needed as well as you can have it made more to your liking.

Welcome aboard

To convert to a camper canvas you’ll need the proper frames and will need to have them made. Best bet is a local canvas shop. Letas top shop in the US has most original patterns but will not have the frames. Also you will need to install the snaps if you go with Letas.

Thx guys,

If I were to search ebay for such a top (as on the picture), what is the right name for that? Here in Denmark it is called a "Kapel" witch translates directly to Chapel - and that has given me no luck on boating sites

It's called a "camper canvas", while you can find universal ones on eBay you will need the dimensions of the windshield frame, gunnels, ...to come close to finding one to fit.
