Trying to find a sunpad for a 280 sundancer 2006. Any ideas?

Assuming you have searched the classified list here, and maybe Craigslist and eBay, you could try contacting Marine Max and see if there would be a factory option available.

The other way to go would be to have one custom made to meet your needs.

I have used Phil's Custom Canvas for covers for my boat and could not be more impressed with the quality of the product and the customer service.

My boat came with a large, 2 peice bow sunpad. Not sure if it was factory or not but it covers a majority of the bow, it's thick and pretty comfortable. It snaps into place and stays put when on plane. It wraps around the hatch which is why it's in 2 pieces.

Hey Bucit,

Would you happen to have any pictures of that? Would love to see what it looks like, Thank you.

I'll look but I don't think I have any. Our weather calls for rain the next few days so it may be the weekend beofre I could put them on and take a few pics. Of course then I'll have the clean then as well since they are sitting in my gargage right now. I don;t keep them on all the time due to the sun beating down on them.

I have a custom 6+1 piece bow sunpad covering entire deck and hatch made by the canvas guy who did the camper extension when I bought the boat five years ago.

Below is a pic of my sun pad's 4 piece also there is 2 more pads until the windlass.



The pieces attaches each other via welcro and attaches to the stanchions via snapped two piece belt.



Never run on plane while they are set on the deck but never fell to the sea while anchored on windy days.

Hope this helps.

PS. sorry for the laundry scenery, it was washed the night before we stayed at the hook and drying under sun:grin:

Thanks John.
You have a great boat, my father had a 2004 with Yanmar diesels.
