Difference between '90 310 and a '93 330

[chpsk8]

I'm looking to buy some canvas and all I can find is canvas for a 1993 330 sundancer. My boat is a 1990 310.
Ive heard that they are pretty much the same boat and have been able to trace that the windshields are the same.
My neighbor has a 93 330 and he said his original canvas was the same as mine. I called Sea Ray and they said the hulls are the same.
I guess I'm looking for a couple more opinions before I pull the trigger on this canvas. It's a great deal, but they say they didn't do thepatterns for the 1990 310 so they can't guarantee it.
Any advice would be great. Just looking for first hand experiences with these two years. Thanks,

Snap locations may be different. Hulls have been the same on all I have seen.

Thanks. Snaps would be ok, the canvas comes without snaps installed so I would've able to match them to mine.
Locally I'm looking at $2k for Bimini and fastback, online I can get it for under $600, but it's for a 330. I just want to minimize my risk so to say.

Have you tried to negotiate with the local guy? This can't be a busy time for him. Don't be bashful....show him what you can buy it for online and ask him what the difference is. Give him an opportunity to show you. There may be a valid reason for his price. Could be stainless poles and fittings vs. aluminum????

Winter is busy season. In fact they never seem to slow down around here. There are a couple really good guys and both said if I gave the word today it would be almost a year before they would get to it. I guess business is good so that's why the high cost here..

If you can get a bimini and fastback aft curtain for $600,buy it. That is about what the material to make it would cost (or more depending on glass type).

The only difference in the boat is the 310 vs. 330. Same boat. As was the 350/370 and 420/440 in those same years.

Thanks guys. Much appreciated.
Got the "latest"online quote and I'm looking at $850 for the Bimini and Aft canvas, still a decent deal.
I've come to loath the factory green canvas...

I have a 1992 330 and am interested in where you got the quote.

New or used?

What color, I might back you up on the deal and buy it from you, if it wont fit your boat.
