Forrest, did you get your canvas from Boatswain? I just did mine from them. My back two panels are wrinkled like yours. I could not get them any better.
I had issues. Mostly from the frame, not Boatswain fault. Apparently, my frame had been adjusted/modified when the canvas was redone before we got the boat. It took a few phone calls to Boatswain to get it all figured out. I still can't get the aft sides attached to the radar arch. They are too short, but I have a couple of ideas.
And I could not get the awning installed correctly. I got it decent and quit.
The windshield covers came out great.
All in all, much better that what I had, but not as good as I had hoped (my fault), but happy. This is one of those projects that I wish I had a "do-over". And, I saved a ton vs local canvas guys here.
Thanks
Larry
Larry,
Yes, from Boatswain's Locker
That image of the back is misleading. It is completely flat in person.
My whole set fits perfectly. The only issue I have had is that the nuts that hold the grab rail on the port side of the helm are causing a little wave in the small window between the side window and port windshield beacuse it doesn't let the canvas lay flat. Gonna ask Boatswain on that, but guessing it is a known issue as the original was one large piece instead of two small and one large.
I am thrilled with mine, and $7K cheaper than the local guy.
