    I think you are spot on with 4 blade… many folks here have consulted with Ken at Prop gods and gotten the desired results with him

    270 Islander Rebuild

    I suspect that whoever did your canvas could just replace the shock cord/bungee and restitch and you’d be good to go. Looks like the nets themselves don’t have holes
