New canvas for '98 2700SCR? - Maxum Boat Owners Club

I need to replace the canvas/isinglass on my 98 2700SCR. Any idea what I can expect for cost? I tried Leta's but they said that there was no stock canvas for my boat and I must have a custom camper. They would not be able to offer a replacement. Anyone else to try before contacting my local canvas shop?

who did you talk to at leta's??..cuz they have alot of the US marine patterns and she has done some work for me...just this last week I had the front eisenglass replaced cuz the stock stuff sucked big time.....

make sure you talk to leta....
as for cost...it goes for between 1500 and 3k depending on who is doing it.....might wanna check around some...

I believe I spoke to Leta. This was a few months ago when I was doing some preliminary research. She requested my hull ID and said there were no patterns available. I am wondering if I sender her my top, could she copy it. I will give them a call again.

I think if you do send the top..she can copy it..after all..it's a normal 2800 scr...they made a ton of them...but she's really reasonable and good...

let me know if I can be of some help since I'm not far from her..

SP :hello:

I ordered my new top from Leta's Top Shop today. I am excited to see how it looks. She saved me a great deal over my local canvas shop. Thanks Seapuppy for the reference. I will post a followup in a couple of weeks.

I received my canvas from Leta. I looks really nice. The quality looks very good. It is better built/sewn than what I have on there now. I have not had a chance to fit it yet. I will put it on this weekend.

One question I had was with a roll of 1 1/2" wide gray weather strip it came with. Leta said it was for between the canvas and the radar arch. She said put the snaps through it. Does anyone have a picture of this? Any suggestions on best way to install? Any tricks? The included instructions could be better. I sure hope it all fits.

I just got mine last week from Leta's too. My original has this on there so if no one has it to send, I'll take a pic when I o back to the lake this weekend. From what I can see, it just peel & sticks on to the underside of the canvas where it attaches to the radar arch.
