Our Ranger Tug is a 2010 R25 Classic Cabin that we bought new from Marc at Wefings. It had everything except the full cockpit enclosure. It did have the factory Bimini top. We wanted the enclosure so Marc ordered the side and rear panels from King Marine Canvas in Seattle. It has served us well through hot summer days, heavy rain, high wind, and even snow.
But time has taken its toll. So we wanted to replace it. I thought about local canvas makers including those on Lake Erie where we store the boat for the winter. But we always liked the design and quality of the original from King Canvas.
So, I called them, sent them an email with photos to show them what I wanted. They made the original, still had the patterns for the R25 Classic, and even remembered making the panels for our boat.
Long story short, we ordered a new enclosure and it arrived last week. Today I took it up to where our boat is stored and unpacked it. Absolutely beautiful work. The boat shop where we store our boat will put it on the frame and install the snaps in the canvas to match the snaps in the boat.
Now, I've never met the folks at King Canvas face to face but I have to tell you I am very happy to have ordered this from them. Just wanted to give them acknowledgement on Tugnuts. Great job!
