Bow Shade for 285 Freedom

I looked at these at the Charleston boat show. They’re a local company: https://laporteproducts.com/shop-boat-shades/
Their shade package was $750. Not sure if it will work for your boat, but I’ve bought a Console curtain from them and it was high quality.

Are there any aftermarket alternatives to GW’s Easy-up bow shade? TIA

I contacted the laporte company(https://laporteproducts.com/) and they have a great product. Problem for us is our Freedom 285 does not have the bow mounted rod holders for the poles for the shade. Would need to get those installed before I would be able to utilize the bow shade. But I definitely want to do that. I'm wondering if anyone has some input on installing flush mount rod holders on the front bow deck
