Original Factory Replacement Four Winns Boat Canvas
Four Winns' origin can be traced to the Safe-T-Mate Boat Company, founded in 1962, before being acquired by the Winn family in 1976, who rebranded it as Four Winns. Since then, this Cadillac, Michigan company has forged a name as one of boating’s premium brands, known for its elegant style and high level of fit and finish. So when it comes time to replace your Four Winns canvas, it makes sense to choose Great Lakes Boat Top. We also got our start in Michigan before moving to Tennessee and since 1957 we have earned a reputation for being the industry leader as an Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) of quality canvas products. So whether you own a 180 Horizon bowrider or a V475 yacht, look to us to replace its canvas with the real deal.
Great Lakes Boat Top Makes Original Four Winns Replacement Canvas
No one has more experience and expertise making boat canvas than Great Lakes Boat Top. We’ve been creating quality products for more than 60 years and have 120 dedicated employees whose only job is to design, build, sell, and distribute the finest original and replacement canvas components in the industry. We work with 60 of the largest, most prestigious boat companies in the world — often when a prospective model is nothing more than an image on a computer screen — to design and build mooring covers, Bimini tops, cockpit covers, bow covers, camper enclosures, and accessories for that boat builder. In our extensive library, we have more than 30,000 patterns we use to make replacements for all things canvas. If your Four Winns was built after 2002, chances are excellent we can make the original replacement for any canvas item for your specific model.
Four Winns Vista Camper Enclosures Can Add Months to Your Boating Season
A camper enclosure is a great addition that can allow you to comfortably go boating even in inclement weather or when chilly temperatures keep most boats at the dock. It also increases your boat’s sleeping capacity for weekend getaways.
Appearance is Everything
Four Winns are among the elite boat manufacturers with a wide range of stylish models from 18 feet to nearly 50 feet long and owners are proud of their boat’s appearance, whether it’s in the water or on a trailer. Because these boats spend more time on dry land or at the marina — often in full view of the neighbors — having factory-new Four Winns OEM replacement canvas is one of the best ways to keep it looking like you just bought it. Also, having new cockpit and bow covers is the best way to keep the interior of your Four Winns looking like it just came from the factory. Even if your boat canvas is still in good shape, switching to a new color instantly gives your boat a fresh appearance.
Sunbrella Canvas is the Industry Leader
Over the last six decades, probably no one in the marine industry has purchased more Sunbrella fabric than Great Lakes Boat Top. When it was new, most Four Winns Horizon, Vista or Funship models were outfitted with Sunbrella canvas for a good reason: it stands up year-after-year despite the ravages of the sun’s rays and harsh marine environment. Sunbrella is fluorocarbon-coated, making it water-repellent, yet still breathable. Its acrylic fibers are UV resistant and are dyed before the fabric is woven giving it superior colorfast properties. Sunbrella has an industry-leading 10-year limited warranty for peace of mind that your investment will last. Although Sunbrella’s makers, Glen Raven Inc., has manufacturing facilities around the world, its main factory for supplying the U.S. market is a million-square-foot plant in Anderson, South Carolina.
Sunbrella SeaMark
Select Four Winns models were originally shipped from the factory with Sunbrella SeaMark canvas, which adds a waterproof backing to give it superior weather resistance against heavy rain and spray from rough sea conditions. So when you order a replacement canvas for your Four Winns boat, if it originally came with SeaMark, that’s what you’ll get from us. This premium canvas also delivers the ultimate protection against mold, mildew, and punishing UV rays from the sun.
Stamoid Canvas for Select Components
For some items such as camper boot tops, aft and side curtains, and Bimini top visors, heavy-duty Stamoid Top canvas was the original material used and we have that in stock too, which allows us to create an exact match to give your Four Winns that straight-from-the-factory look and feel. Made by Serge Ferrari, which was founded in 1973, Stamoid Top is an incredibly sturdy canvas, weighing 12.6 ounces per square yard. Stamoid Top is known for its extreme resistance to UV rays and mold. It cleans up easily with just a gentle liquid soap solution and light scrubbing with a soft-bristled brush.
One Quick Way to Tell if a Company is Not an OEM
While some Four Winns canvas replacement companies claim to be true OEM, if you are asked to provide measurements, it’s almost always a sure sign they are not. When you place an order with Great Lakes Boat Top, we won’t ask for measurements because we already have the factory specs and patterns sourced directly from Four Winns for your specific model that our skilled sewers can pull up on their electronic tablets, which are used instead of paper reference books so they can be instantly updated throughout the system should any changes occur. After the item is completed, an inspector can reference the same electronic information on their tablet to make sure the item is ready for shipping and will know what hardware to package with the order.
Make Sure Everything Matches
Color-matched canvas is only one aspect of your order. We will also correctly match the zippers, fasteners, fittings, and frames to retain the original look and perfect fit. All you need to do when ordering is give us the correct year, make and model along with any added accessories — both original and aftermarket — and we will guarantee the order will fit your Four Winns boat. The snaps for your order will be included but you will install them on the canvas yourself after you receive it. This is to ensure a perfect fit in case there are slight variances where the snap receiver was installed at the factory. Snaps are simple to install and positioning them perfectly will make it a breeze to use your covers. There’s a video that walks you through the procedure. Your satisfaction is 100% guaranteed by us.
Although you can request a price quote online, no order will be placed until you speak with one of our customer support agents at our state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Vonore, Tennessee. This is to ensure you get the right item for your boat and that you are aware of any options, such as different colors, that are available. Don’t be tempted by a company offering a cover or Bimini top at a lower price even if they purport to be using the same quality materials. If they aren’t using patterns sourced straight from Four Winns, it will be extremely difficult to match the look of the original canvas.
Fast Shipping
Because we have the original patterns, sourced directly from Four Winns, along with the correct hardware right in our factory, we can get your order shipped in less than two weeks.
The reason owners buy Four Winns boats is because they deliver no-compromise products that will exceed their expectations for years to come. We can relate; that’s been our philosophy at Great Lakes Boat Top since 1957.
