Narrowing down my search for a 400 Sedan Bridge and will be making a trip to step on board a few 2001 models in two weeks. One of them I will be looking at the broker already told me it has new canvas but the Isinglass probably has bout a year of life left. So I guess you can have just the IG replaced anybody know a approximate cost? I always figured you just replace canvas and all at one time? Also he told me the two captain chairs probably have about a year before they would need some attention. So can you get new covers from Sea Ray? Or what do most people do. Any idea what options and cost I need to plan for?
My $0.02, FWIW. If the dealer is telling you that the glass has about a year left, you can be assured it's completely shot right now. Same thing with the chairs. What concerns me the most is that the canvas is supposedly new, and the glass is old. Why would someone replace the canvas, and not the glass. I've heard of people doing it the other way around, but if you're doing the canvas, it would make sense to do the glass too. I wonder what else the owner skimped on. Again, just my first impression. As always, make sure you have a good surveyor. Good luck.
