What a great idea, Thanks Dennis!

Just wanted to add another word of thanks. I applied everyone's advice/technique to my new camper top. Went on great, though the only drilling was for rear bimini supports. Thanks again!

When I travel across from Sandy Hook to NY (and back), what are my best wind directions and can someone explain... I am assuming it would be from my aft, but please educate me. Thanks

Ha. Yes, Some still do. That whole area is a beautiful, wooded park now - lot of mountain biking. We used to go through the old bunkers when I was in high school in the late 80's. I grew up on the river myself, Love it. :) Alvin, I'll PM - kids would be happy with some playmates.

I meant he went in at high - picture is at low tide, he commited himself to a 12 hour day. Sounds good, Will do.

Thanks very much, I was going to file away at the old seal to give the new adhesive place to grab hold of.The old seal is rock hard, almost like grout, so I am guessing it was meant to be permanent.

Hi guys, Appreciate a little assistance with a repair. I have a 2005 Weekender 225, I realized a couple weeks ago that one of my vent covers became "unseated?" The seal on the two edges is no longer holding and it can now flip up (toward the inside of the boat, the long edge still holds). The...

My sentiments exactly. I was told a shot straight from Seastreak - wrong. I cut up on an angle and used followed my gps/chart at high tide. If you go to google map it will show the low water better than what I posted. First time I went straight like someone told me and had to get out and push of...

Thanks rcknecht. Alvin, that is actually at Skeleton Hill Island at the entrance to Spermaceti Cove: http://www.bing.com/maps/default.aspx?q=40.419312%2c-73.991983&mkt=en&FORM=HDRSC4 A great place to go because of the steep drop, you can back right up to the island. Fills up quick on the...

Hey, Thanks for the heads up. I will definitely be out, may swing by.

Thanks everyone :thumbsup:

Hey guys, Thought it was about time to say hello. Found this forum when I needed an assist with a canopy cover found it to be a great place. Enjoying the heck out of my 225 Weekender. Perfect time with my young kids... We head out to Sandy Hook for the day or crabbing and fishing. Monday we...

I put a car horn in, just drilled a hole that is hidden under the ss cover. If it goes bad I can pick another up at the junk yard for under $5. The benefit is not only cost, but another boat can actually hear it! :thumbsup:

Thanks again... :thumbsup: I should have said tough, but much better in the long run. The tough part was bringing the canvas down - but it certainly maid it easier in the long run.

Well once again thanks! It was tough getting them set in the front with the back already snapped, but all went well. Only wound up with one rough hole (completely covered by the snap) and the rest were spot on. I will replace a few of the old male ends aft - I realized that even after lubing or...

Thanks LD, I like the over windshield set up to keep the UV out. I hear what you are saying but I got used to it with with my friends searay.

OK, I have almost all the female snaps in the cover aft of the windshield. Cloud cover came in and some rain so I am waiting for a break before heading back to the dock. Following the advice given by Dennis and will move on to the front corners.

Dennis, Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge - I will follow your advice. Casey, what can I say- above and beyond the call, I owe you!

Dennis- yes, having read the tips etc. Casey, thanks very much. I would also add that great lakes told me today they are having a 25 % off salle til the end of August.

Just had greatlakes send me a very brief instruction sheet. Under cockpit cover it just says to place the snaps approximately 1" below the contour in the fiberglass (windshield area). Customer service said their is no set distance between snaps, whatever I am comfortable with. Which of course...
