I'm looking for an Aft canvas curtain Tan/beige for a 2001 280 Sundancer. I currently have the full camper package but I'd like to find the "slope back"..

Have your hull number ready.


Sea Ray purchased the tops for this boat from Great Lakes. Great Lakes will sell directly to you. The benefit of buying the piece from them is it will be a factory quality fit.

The zippers will be on the canvas. The snaps will be included but not installed.

Check your canvas color by looking at the tag on your existing canvas. Then download the the parts manual for your boat from Sea Ray. Find the part number for the slant back that corisponds with the color you want and call Great Lakes with this info. so the color matches what you already have.
 
As I've posted before, make sure you order the correct item. Great Lakes Boat Tops will not honor their 100% guarantee. There is nothing wrong with the quality, just p*** poor customer service.

not if you give them your ser#. Then they'll guarantee. This was specifically noted to me on the phone when inquiring about requesting a different configuration.
So far, I've been impressed with how they handle themselves on phone calls and e-mails. I've have not made a purchase yet, but like anything you order online or over the phone you need to be sure, AND specific.

If you know someone at a local canvas shop, they can order it for you, and save you some $$. I saved about $40 on my cockpit cover by having a local guy order it for me. It's not much, but money is money, I guess. :huh:
 
I ordered the camper canvas side curtains from them and they showed up. No problems. Once they found my order email took several weeks.

However the camper top I had evidently was not a GL piece and the zipper did not fit the GL parts. I wanted to exchange the camper sides for the Aft cover and they said sorry. They would not take them back. There is nothing in the guarantee about what the 100% covers. Evidently once you get them they are 100% yours. I ended up ordering a new camper top and a new bimini since I had all of the other pieces. They ended getting more money from me. I am happy with the quality but not to crazy about the guarantee. :smt009
 
All I can say, Nehalennia, is, you've been warned. I DID all that you said. Still wrong. Still not satisfied. 100%? Not here.

Gstanton. I want you to know that I am not Argueing with you in the slightest, I haven't bought anything from them as yet so your experience with them is much greater than mine. I did have a great experience ordering a replacement window on my 1999-230OV from Westland Canvas(AZ). Westland was Searay's vendor for my 230OV when they were made in Phoenix. Perfect!$75.00 including shipping and arrived in 15 days.

My local canvas dealer is making a complete over the windshield towing cover, including cut-outs for the bimini stantions and in the "Captain Navy" Sunbrella for $600.00.
They are then replacing all of the clear vinyl with .030 polished, worn velcro and all new snaps for an additional $600-800 + some snaps and stiching on carpets, canvas tears and re-fit.
I couldn't be happier. I'd pay twice that from GL tops + shipping.
