jbfiii, I have been told by my local Four Winns dealer, and by the Four Winns supplier Great Lakes Boat Top, that Four Winns made the canvas for the boats that DID NOT have a radar arch. The canvas for boats with arches came from Great Lakes Boat Top Company. Canvas is still available from the factory for the no-arch boats and from GLBT for the boats with arches.
My boat is a 2002 268 in forest green gelcoat trim and canvas (see picture below). My local dealer quoted me the following part numbers and prices in Sept 2014.

140-50286-0802 CANVAS, GREEN, BIMINI ASSEMBLY 268V. This is the complete assembly that includes the bows. The Sept 2014 price quoted to me was is $2167. I'm sure prices have changed some since then, but the part numbers and prices may give you an idea.
As they described, these canvas and isinglass pieces come from the original patterns. You will need to do the final fit and install the snaps to attach the lower edge of these sections to the windshield and boat.
The other alternative is to have a local canvas shop make it for you. This might be your best option if there is anything you would like customized.

what is the name of the dealer you got the quote from? also, is one of these pieces the isinglass that goes on the front between the bimini and the windshield? Great lakes quoted me $438.62. Greatlakes did say their dealers actually do for less on many items...
Thank you!
