wishing2Bfishing 0 Posted January 7, 2014 Report Share Posted January 7, 2014 As most of you would be aware, i live in Whyalla and on the 8/2/14 i am taking my boat to Coast Road Motors in Ardrossan for a service and some other work. I want to get a canopy and rocket launchers fitted as well but he doesnt do canopies there and i reckon it would be better to get it done together. i was thinking of bringing it to Adelaide to get it done, can anyone recommend somewhere for me to take it? if you know of what sort of price i might be looking at as well that would be helpful.Cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nickmav 0 Posted January 7, 2014 Report Share Posted January 7, 2014 Hi mate , Got my canopy done at a place on days road croydon park.Good job and I reckon it was under $800, but don't quote me on that.Just looked it up, days road auto and marine upholsteryDon't know if he does rocket launchers but...... I took my boat there with full set of custom stainless launchers already fitted and they just fitted the canopy around what was there, including side clears wishing2Bfishing 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Wadey 4 Posted January 14, 2014 Report Share Posted January 14, 2014 Ay mate I suggest ya just go and buy a good set of rocket launchers from a boat supplier ( 316 stainless steel ) which makes the rear of your canopy , from there a good upholster should be able to finish the rest . There is one over here at Napperby the only problem is he is a bit slow . wishing2Bfishing 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
525seamaster 0 Posted January 14, 2014 Report Share Posted January 14, 2014 Cant really recommend anyone as iv never used a marine upholsterer but if getting a rocket launcher fitted becomes an issue you could always tackle it yourself, I bought mine for around 150, its the type that clamps to your canopy not deck mounted. Theyre fairly universal just gotta cut the horizontal tubes to the right length, which I would recomend using a plumbers tube cutter because it heaps neater. Took about an hour but there was two of us doing it which was heaps easier. wishing2Bfishing 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ale 301 Posted January 14, 2014 Report Share Posted January 14, 2014 Mate, is the Haines a runabout or does it have a cab of sorts?I redid my canopy/clears last year and also have a rocket launcher on my runabout.If you send me your email I send ya some pix of my set up. Trust me when I say I’m “thriftyâ€, I can give you details of the guys that did my work, its good and well priced, but on the south side of the CBD.I’ve been in a very nice boat let down by some clears done by Days road, the owner curses them every time he goes out in rough weather.Having said that, clears have a life span , I reckon my mates my be well past there date wishing2Bfishing 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
