My Grady White is 16 years old and the clear vinyl curtains need replacing. I’m in Vancouver BC where we have several canvas shops that do boat enclosures. However, I doubt they can match the original product which has extremely heavy vinyl and “curve formed” sections. I would like to match the original spec if possible. Any suggestions for a source for these?
 
any decent local canvas shop should be able to give you better than original.
 
Yup, they are probably better than you are assuming they are.

What you need to determine is what you currently have and, well, more importantly, what you WANT. Essentially, you have various thicknesses of vinyl (and slightly different versions of it based on brand) and then polycorbonate or acrylic. Although I tend to think that acrylic isn't as popular?

The best thing you can do is go and talk to them to discuss pros/cons (you can Google that part, too) vs cost. Cost varies greatly on things like this so it's best to talk to them directly.
