Where can I obtain a cockpit canvas enclosure for a C30 CB?
 
do you mean for storage or camper canvas to extend the boat's usable season? In either case, you would need to have something custom made by a local canvas fabricator. There are many in the PNW but I don't know any in Idaho, personally.
 
Thank you. We’ll have a custom camper extension made.
 
Welcome, not sure how I had it in my head you were Idaho based - could have sworn your profile said that! You should have no problem finding someone in the gig harbor area.
 
No worries. I recently moved and updated the profile.
 
I am coming down to gig harbor on my boat this weekend if you'd like to see how mine works. I will be at the Seattle Yacht Club outstation, opposite tides tavern.
 
Thank you for your generous offer. Saturday would be the only day that work for us.

I will send you a PM. No agenda / plans for the trip, just a casual weekend get-away (and fish and chips at tides of course).
 
We are currently having a new full "camper" canvas fabricated by King Marine Canvas. They are located near Fisherman's Terminal in Seattle. King has made MANY new and replacement canvas installs for fellow Fluid Motion boat owners. I'd be happy to share details with you if it would help.
 
In November we installed a camper back on our C30CB and used Kings marine. We are very happy with the install and would recommend them. We found them by talking to another owner of a C30CB. Seeing their work in advance on the same boat is a great way to feel good about what you are purchasing. As always with a custom project there are things that you would do differently if starting over. In our case very minor ones. If you are going to spend the money it's worth checking out other installations and solving any issues in advance. You are welcome to look at our installation. We are under the West Seattle bridge.

Some of the things that I had them do differently than they originally planed which worked out great for us was making the access to the Command Bridge opening large and unimpeded. Windows, making them come down as far as possible. Back seat, making sure that your head doesn't touch the window when sitting on the bench.

Things I would have done differently, the location of one of the frame attachments. Zipper directions.
 
Thank you very much for your insight and thoughtful response.
