| Post subject: | Wanted: Old Cockpit Cover for F224 |
i'm looking for an old, even beat-up front cockpit cover for an F224 (Funship 214). I don't care about the condition of the main part of the cover. Ripped is fine. What I want is the outer edge, where it snaps onto the boat. My purpose is that I want to create a tent for the front of the boat to use for the occasional overnight camping. I'm planning to use the existing snap edge, and sew it onto an inexpensive nylon pop-up tent, and remove the floor from the tent. I think this way I can have a snap-on cover to keep the bugs out while providing an area to sleep. Please let me know if you have one and we can work out the details of payment or shipping. Thanks! I will remove or update this post when I find one, so if the ad's still here, I'm still looking. |

You are better off to buy the tent first then have a canvas shop sew a doubled up piece of canvas along the edge. This way you can install the snaps exactly to match the existing ones. The snaps on a used cover probably won't match your spacing eventhough theory says they should...these things are made by hand and are never exactly the same. |

Good point. Maybe I will check into that. Anyone else ever do this? |
