- Vessel Info: I have a 2000 Carver 326 Aft with hardtop rear deck. I just put two fully rebuilt engines in it, and now I want to change all of the canvas and plastic on the bridge and new plastic windows around the rear deck. I am having a hard time finding parts without a custom top. The parts numbers are in the Carver Parts manual, but give no actual measurements. This is not a monetary issue, but rather keeping to the original design. All canvas and plastic is original. I am in Canada, but shipping or pick up can be arranged.Jim

Carver canvas tops new to Carver Yacht owners Jim 326
Goodmorning Carver people. My name is Jim (326Carver2000) and I am looking to have the original tops all replaced in the Toronto area. Carver has the pieces in their Owners parts manual, but no measurements are given. I have been a Carver owner since when I bought my 326 in 2010. Nice to be here, and if anyone has anything that will help, please send a note.

Your only real option is the find a canvas specialist in your area who will make custom canvas for you. This is how it is done for almost all boats regardless of brand. Welcome the forum.

What midnightsun says. Custom canvas is really your only option. Even if you had all of the dimensions, any canvas guy worth his salt will still take his own measurements.Midnightsun wrote:Your only real option is the find a canvas specialist in your area who will make custom canvas for you.

Re: Carver canvas tops new to Carver Yacht owners Jim 326
Welcome aboard Jim. As the guys have mentioned, you'll need to have it custom made. They'll come out and pattern it then fabricate at their facility. Now is your opportunity to consider any changes you want or additions that would better suit your needs. It's also the best time to start the ball rolling as it's their slowest time, once the season starts, most canvas shops are so busy you'll be waiting for months. So far the boat show is a go for January and while it's a good source for finding this service, I don't know that you want to wait that long. If you're serious about it (it's pricey), I'd contact someone now and see if they can start, there's still time to complete it before the weather gets bad.
