Any recommendations for a shop to make and install new canvas for my 1998 370DA? Also does anyone recommend the thicker plexi for my helm canvas?

Charm City Marine Canvas, at the Anchorage in Canton. Marvin does a FANTASTIC job and gives you so many options. You don't have to just get black, tan or "Sea Ray blue". He does a great job of fitting and installing. You'll be thrilled. And he will show you the various options for glass. On a Dancer, you'll probably want something like Strataglass, because it's rollable and very clear. Markalon is super clear, but not rollable, so it would be tough to store anywhere. I'd pay the extra for Strataglass and avoid the cheaper insinglass options. But again, talk to Marvin.

Middle River..................
did you find anyone yet? because i need to replace the original canvas top (attaches from top of windshield to about the back of the seat). side curtains are like new as is the camper canvas. been to 3 places (will name later if want) and been told they cant align the zippers from new canvas to the side curtains and aft canvas. Well Hell, they managed to align it when it was made at the factory!. so, i am looking for someone too that has a clue what they are doing? PS. asked one place to just repair the 4 rips in the seams (about 2 - 3 inches long) and was told $800 to repair 4 seam splits. and at this point for politically correct reasons i will curtail my comments about THAT cost estimate.

I was given a recommendation for SS Canvas a couple weeks ago from a good friend of mine. I haven't tried them, but my friend is a good guy and wouldn't steer me to a place that would does bad work, or would rip me off.
I have another friend at the marina who's sister does canvas. She made a replacement bimini for his 320 and it looked really nice. I'll try to get her business name this week.
