Looking to purchase backdrop curtain for my 2020 GW 208 Adventure

[Leopunz]

Does anyone know if I can purchase the backdrop curtain for my soft top 208 Adventure from someone other than GW? I can install it myself. Looks like the hardtop for the 208 Adventure model is now standard equipment.

I'm not sure if this is true for Grady, but many boat manufacturers and canvas suppliers have contracts where you can not buy direct from the canvas maker for 3 or 5 years. On your existing canvas or bimini there should be a manufacturer tag. Call and ask. Or just have it made locally.

What was the price from Grady?

Thanks for the info. I'll check my tag in the spring. I'm waiting to get the GW price. I assume it will be high as the added option was over 2k when I was negotiating.

You can have a local shop fabricate them or maybe give A&J Canvas in Vanceobro NC a ring. They provide them for GW. If you have the old ones, send em down to pattern from. I think they do nice work at a reasonable price.

Yeah, I would double check on that. $2K doesn't seem right for a piece of floppy canvas.

This is a good place to get price comparisons. They suspended production during covid, not sure what their schedule is now, says 2022.

A&J won't make pieces for enclosure unless they are a few years old. Can't remember specific range. Give Lee a call, she can tell you.

I have one that I never use. Would you be interested?

 

[Ky Grady]

Reached out to Lee at A&J. A year and a half or older, she will make pieces or whatever you may need for your Grady.
