Thanks

What boat 

cls10105

Oh that my help...sorry. its a 2002 342 fiesta vee

Best to just have one made

Yea it really depends. Things specific to the Rinker 342 like the aft filler cushions will be hard to come by, I bought mine from someone on this site. You’d either need to buy them here from someone selling or check greatlakesskipper. For canvas there is a guy on this site who can get you factory canvas new at great prices.

Maybe a good look around Craigslist or eBay too, may have some things coming up from the carnage south. I got a second set of canvas from a gent who lost his vessel in Sandy but the canvas was home.

Thanks guys. It sounds like it may take some time. I need canvas to. Older boat needs a few cosmetic things but mechanical a great boat.

There are quite a few things you can find on greatlakesskipper.com.  

The filler cushions are a little bit of a white whale.  As mentioned, having some made would be an option.  I had a set I never used which I sold to a member here.

As for canvas, you can find places that still have OEM canvas for boats like: http://rnr-marine.com/auto/Rinker_342-Fiesta-Vee_(2001-2004).shtml#products

But you may be happier with talking to a local canvas shop.  Any number of changes could have been made to your canvas setup by previous owners.

Happy hunting!

i have the rear filler cushions in great shape. I never have used them and i keep them in my basement. The only problem is they are going to be expensive to ship.
I would like a $100 plus shipping if you are interested.
 

cls10105

Can you find out how much shipping would be.  I am located in Chattanooga Tennessee 

rmfriday

will do

cls10105

Thanks you sir!

Doesn't Tony still sell canvas on this site?? His prices were really good, and good service too.

I’d say it likely does, the shape changed in 03/04 I think. Doesn’t hurt to contact.

+1 for @boattech01 for canvas. I ordered a new front bimini window for my 270, great price and had it in about 3 weeks. email TJ for a quicker response. boattech01@aol.com

Rm Friday i would like to have the cushions just let me know how to pay you. I need those 1st for the grand kids..thank you

cls10105

I need the canvas well i want the canvas but it maybe a little while for the canvas...me broke...😑

cls10105

I need to get an estimate on the canvas. So i know qhat to expect

LaRea

Full camper canvas, installed, expect $3k to $5k depending on options.  More if you get it custom-made with high-end windows, less if you can find off-the-shelf parts. 

cls10105

Oh man. Wasn't expecting that going to have wait a little while for that...dangit

The great part about working with TJ to buy canvas is that he is going to sell you the same pieces that came with your boat, so you don’t have to buy the whole thing. Buy just the pieces you need each year.

i sent you a message
thanks
