Keep looking, but you won't see much. If you have an arch you could look at Great Lakes Boat Top. If you do not have an arch then it can be ordered from Four Winns. Or you could check with a local canvas shop. Hope this helps.

Great Lakes Boat Top is a good bet. I installed new bimini and camper tops and isinglass from them and they fit like a glove. Excellent quality.....bimini and camper have a waterproof backing in the fabric. However, these panels come with female snaps but they are not installed as they have to match up to the male snaps already on you boat. We are very happy with our fit. Snaps are easy to install. We used the Hoover Pres-snap tool . In addition, Sailrite makes a snap positioning system that makes the job go even faster and assures getting snaps in the right location. These cost more than the other tools but was well worth it as we got professional results. If you get around to doing this, start in the middle of the canvas and work to both ends marking and installing as you go. Hope this helps.

When I talked to Great Lakes Boat Top a while back, they said that they did not provide canvas for the non-arch 268s. As I recall the arch-equipped boats in 2000 have a camper top that goes under the arch. Sometime in maybe 2002 or 2003 (I think) Four Winns started attaching the enclosure sections to the arch. I'm not sure if Great Lakes provided canvas in 2000, but it would definitely be worth a call or email.

Going through same thing opting to reline just the top along the sides mine is still in pretty good shape only a few small holes, keep in mind if you have a top only made that it will still zipper into the side curtains and needs to fit fairly well

Boat are basically hand made. Snap are not going to line up among other things if you buy factory. Your best bet is a canvas shop!

So $1200 to make a new top........ boat has to be there .....as everything since new changes shape and has to be custom fit or you can inlay old top and have it cleaned in my case about one third the cost
