    Thumbs up Custom Boat Enclosures

    This is the time of year where a lot of us start getting to enjoy fall fishing. One of the biggest issues we all face is getting the enclosure for our boats to snap together. Cooler temps just about make that impossible with the shrinkage of the vinyl window curtains we have. Since buying this boat I have now, its enclosure didn't fit unless it was forced stretched to be snapped into position. I even have some of the vinyl that tore at the snaps or pull completely out. I took my boat to a guy who has making custom enclosures from his home for 35yrs to get an estimate on a new enclosure. I was looking at a $3500 bill which is about right and inline with a couple of estimates too. But this seamstress told me there is nothing wrong with current one only needing stretched to fit. A common problem most boaters face. I'm glad he convinced me to keep the money and not purchase a new custom made enclosure. I found this site that will save me, a $100 bill vs $3500. Watch the short video on extend a zipper of the link I am posting. This is a very clean way of making your enclosure look like a pro done it and only take a few minutes to apply. BTW, those shops where I had gotten estimates did not mention anything on this simple repair and only one guy told me there is nothing wrong with my enclosure. I'm making the plunge for this repair.
