So I recently bought a 87 268 Sundancer. My question is, is there any difference between the 87 and 88 years as far as canvas goes? Looking at a full camper setup that’s currently on an 88 and wondering if it would fit. Thanks!

It is unusual for canvas from one boat to fit on another since each is custom fit to the snaps and the canvas cuts, sewing and snap placement varies slightly among boats of the same model. Could you make it work? Possibly, but it will not be a simple remove and replace job. End result will likely look like you tried to make it work but it did not unless you have the tools to recut, patch canvas and place new snaps as needed.
 
The 2 model years were identical, if the canvas is factory it probably will align (may need some snap-extenders; Amazon) but 33yo canvas might not be worth it. Cant say sitting here. Take the canvas and fit try it.
