Does anyone know where I can get a canopy cover with frame for a 1990 Freedom? Doesn't have to be new. |

Here's a thread over at BoatingABC that should be of interest: http://www.boatingabc.com/forums/ubbthreads.php/topics/369967/1.html |

Thanks Jim_r, they only seem to do open biminis. What if I want an enclosed canopy you can use when moving, with windows, but which can also be used for storage? I am in the Uk, and with our rubbish weather, hence the question! |

I think what you want is called a camper canvas. Likely you will need to go to a custom canvas shop for that. I once stopped in at such a place that used to be down the street from me. Their workmanship was fantastic. I had no idea of the options available, such as zip open windows with screens, etc. Very pricey though! Outside of a custom canvas shop, I think your only hope is these guys: http://www.greatlakesboattop.com/canvas-enclosures They are the manufacturers of the OEM biminis, bow & cockpit covers, camper canvas, mooring and trailer covers for Four Winns and many other brands. There is a link there that lets you email them for a quote. Be warned, they ask for Hull registration information for your boat, and the numbers off the OEM Bimini if you have one. |

I contacted Great Lakes Canvas for the heck of it to see if a camper canvas was available for my '07 H200. Their response was that they do not offer a camper package for my boat and recommend going to a custom canvas shop. Only other thought would be to try and adapt one they make for a Horizon 240 (the smallest '07 Horizon that has an OEM camper canvas option). *edit - No joy there either - Great Lakes says they make no camper canvas for the Horizon series. Wonder if FW gets that done elsewhere? The FW does offer that option on the '07 H240. |

Doesn't sound like I am going to be able to get an off the shelf one then. I have been quoted £1,200 + VAT for the cover and frame here in the UK!! |

You might consider going to your dealer and taking some measurements of the cockpit on the H240. Maybe the off the shelf camper convas for the 240 could be adapted for your 190. |
