Ive been in the canvas biz for almost 12 yrs. Id say most people have no idea the labor hrs it takes to fabricate a top, sides, curtains, you name it. Nothing is straight, plenty of unique attachment points, and fabric boat components have to be finished perfect. You would accept nothing less on your expensive boat. You also can have dry fits, test time, etc. Cost on SeaMark is about $33 yrd. Cost on O'Sea or some comparable polished window is close to $250 per 110 x 54 panel. Do the math with labor and mark up. Spendy.
I do my own work, so I'm aware of the time it takes.
My cost on O'Sea is $186 per 110x54. SeaMark runs anywhere from $30-$35/yard, of course if I buy in quantity the prices drop (to about $25/yard)
I would assume if this is your business you are able to buy at wholesale? I don't buy wholesale, but have found a few vendors that give good prices.
