Sea Fox®:
Started in 2001 by the Renken family in the Charleston SC area, Sea Fox® Boats and its subsidiary, Mariah® Boats are manufactured near Moncks Corner, SC. The Renkens began building boats in 1957 and have transferred that knowledge and experience into their current Sea Fox® lineup, which reflects good looks and affordability. Sea Fox® has a very informative web-site, including a great Factory Tour.
We no longer offer Factory-Original canvas for Sea Fox® boats.
Factory Original-Equipment-Manufacturer (OEM) Canvas for Sea Fox® boats: Our team patterned and manufactured the Factory Original-Equipment-Manufacturer (OEM) canvas for Sea Fox® center console, dual console, bay and walk-around boats from 2001 to current.
We produce new canvas (diagram explaining what each piece of canvas is called) in Black, Captain Navy, Silver or Linen Sunbrella fabric. We often offer ANY color Sunbrella to match your personal taste (these colors may not be available from the dealer). Note: We no longer sell Sea Fox® OEM canvas direct as of Fall 2013, so please contact your local Sea Fox® dealer.Zippers on OEM canvas were size #8 (6 teeth/inch). Windows are made with 30mill clear vinyl window material. Specifications, care and cleaning of Sunbrella , 30mill clear vinyl and other canvas materials are detailed below. In some cases (if the boat mfgr is out of business for example) you can upgrade the windows to Strataglass coated clear vinyl (approx. 50-60 percent more cost), however the standard Eisenglass (clear vinyl) will last for many years with proper care, cleaning and storage. We utilize our library of 1,000's of patterns to produce new, "made-to-order" Factory Original canvas for your Sea Fox® boat. This is the same canvas originally offered from the Sea Fox® Factory and sold by your local Sea Fox® dealer (local dealers may only go back 5 years or so however, and charge local sales tax, which we do not charge except in SC and FL). No other canvas manufacturer has these patterns or the ability to produce the exact factory Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) replacement canvas and covers that were offered from the Sea Fox® Factory when your boat was new.
Please be sure that you have the Factory Sea Fox® frame or matching canvas.

Additional Shade for Sea Fox® boats : When its hot you can never have enough shade. Our Boat Shade Kits (starting at $524.00 , SALE PRICE: $487.32 (End of Summer Sale)) extend shade over the cockpit or bow (can even be used like a Spray-Dodger) and can be put up or taken down in minutes.
Folding T-Tops to fit Sea Fox® boats: Our T-Topless™ folding T-Top` fits most Sea Fox® 172 through 217 center console and 182 through 226 Bay Fisher boats. This top lowers (or removes) in less than 15 minutes to store your boat in your own garage or storage building/shed, potentially saving $1,000's per year in storage costs (or let you pass under a low bridge). The T-Topless™ folding T-Top is made of solid, yet lightweight, 1-inch diameter welded 316 Stainless Steel tubing with Sunbrella® canvas and install in an hour on the Stainless Steel windshield grab rails of Sea Fox® center console boats.
Factory Original-Equipment (OEM) Covers for Sea Fox® boats : We offer Factory OEM Console, Leaning-Post and Mooring Covers (typically in durable Sunbrella®) to fit your Sea Fox® boat perfectly.
Custom After-Market Covers for Sea Fox® boats : We also offer after-market Carver® Custom-Fit™ Boat Covers (from $239), Styled-To-Fit™Boat Covers (from $229) and LaPortes® Custom Fitted Boat Covers (from $449) and in Sunbrella® marine fabric (the best quality, breathable fabric for covers) as well as some excellent high-quality, but less expensive materials, that are designed as a precise fit using measurements taken from your particular model of outboard motor.
For Center Console boats, we also offer Universal (Not OEM) Center Console (No T-Top) Covers, Leaning Post Seat Covers and Reversible (Flip-Flop) Seat Covers.
A popular solution for boats with T-Tops are our T-Top Console-Storage-Curtains, which completely cover the front cooler seat, entire console and helm seats or leaning post (starting at $484.00 , SALE PRICE: $454.96 (Winter Sale)). This is a nice alternative to the factory OEM console-cover and OEM leaning-post or OEM pedestal-seat-cover, typically costing less than the OEM console-cover alone.
Since Sea Fox® did not offer a factory mooring cover for boats with a T-Top, we offer custom-fit, durable TTopCover® Under T-Top Boat-Covers and Carver® Over T-Top Boat-Covers for Sea Fox® 172 through 287 center console (now called CoMmander) and 182 through 226 Bay Fisher (now called Viper) boats with the Factory OEM T-Top or Hard-Top. We have patterned hundreds of boats and T-Tops, so search for your boat or email to see if we have patterned your boat

Strataglass® advantages.
Strataglass® is available in 20-mil (0.020"), 30-mil (aka 30ga = 0.030" thick),
40-mil (0.040") or 60-mil (0.060" = ~1/16") thickness.
The 40-mil is available in a clear, light smoke or dark smoke tint,
which is a special order (adds another 10% to the cost and 2 more weeks).
We recommend 30-mil for fishing boats, since the thicker vinyl is hard to roll up offshore.
Yachts may use 40-mil or 60-mil (even more costly) when the vinyl is seldom (if ever) rolled.
Strataglass® claims a
5 year life expectancy (care & exposure dependent),
but notes that many yacht owners see 10 or more years of use with proper care.
