New Soft goods on Bridge of Voyager
Has anyone replaced theirs? Cost? Did you make any modifications? Did you remove yourself?

Re: New Soft goods on Bridge of Voyager
We completely redid our 3697. All new sunbrella, upholstery, curtains, interior trim, everything.
It's not hard. Just takes time.
We were in no rush so took our time finding the materials at the right price. For instance, a brand new 60 yard blue sunbrella roll, bought on ebay from Formula, for 650 bucks. We have a marine outlet/surplus store near us. Bought all the white marine grade vinyl for around 4 bucks yard. Used teflon thread also purchased reasonably on ebay. Shopped RV places for interior materials and bought at least 50% off.
You'll need a decent walking foot sewing machine - I suggest a portable Husqvarna Viking 6440 or similar. Will sew through many layers of vinyl.
Wife also made the weather covers for Plain Vanilla. When we had our 4207, we replaced all the clear vinyl. She also made covers for all the bridge seating and helm.
BTW - where are you in Stevensville? When we lived in MD, we lived at the end of Route 8 a short distance from the Romancoke Pier.

My wife found Jo Ann fabrics stocks marine vinyl in their stores and online. They always have 25 and 50% off coupons available.
