Freeman®: We do not have any Factory-Original (OEM) canvas for Freeman® boats, built right here in Charleston, SC.
Additional Shade for Freeman® 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.
Covers for Freeman® boats : We offer
Custom After-Market Covers for Freeman® 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 Freeman® 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 Freeman® center console 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

Vinyl ...
Some of our aftermarket Tops and Factory OEM canvas are offered in marine grade Vinyl fabric.
Proposition 65 is a California law
intended to protect consumers in the state of California from exposure to certain chemicals that may be harmful.
The law requires that businesses notify Californians prior to sale if a product contains certain chemicals.
The law also requires that the manufacturer label the product with a warning.
Vinyl often contains the chemical Diisononyl Phthalate (DINP) which is on the list of chemicals known to the state of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.
DINP belongs to a family of chemicals commonly added to plastics to make them flexible (products such as garden hoses, athletic shoes, automobile and marine seating).
Exposure occurs through ingestion, inhalation and, to a lesser extent, dermal contact.
While such products are perfectly safe to use in their intended manner, the law still requires that we warn Californians of the presence of the chemical.
- RNR-Marine™ recommends cleaning your canvas or cover to maintain its original beauty and increase longevity.
-
- Covers
are made of a fabric with a weave that can "breathe"
to prevent mold and mildew.
Vinyl or vinyl coated fabric, such as
Weblon®, Stamoid®, Top Gun® or SeaMark® are not
recommended for covers, since the material does not breathe to ventilate the covered space.
We offer covers (depending on boat manufacturer) in one or more of the following fabrics:
-
Solution Dyed 100% Acrylic 9.5 oz./sq.yd. marine fabric
is used for
Console-Covers,
OEM Seat-Covers,
OEM Leaning-Post-Covers,
Bow Covers,
Cockpit Covers and
Mooring Covers.
This durable, 9.5 ounce per square yard fabric is colorfast and mildew resistant,
and is backed by the
Sunbrella® 10-year Limited Fabric Warranty.
Sunbrella® is the premium cover fabric in our opinion, since it is tough,
breathes and the fabric is woven with solution dyed acrylic fibers,
which last longer than polyester and retain colors extremely well.
Sunbrella® is made in the US (Anderson, SC) by Glenn Raven Mills®,
and is offered for all of our Factory OEM canvas and covers,
as well as our Carver® after-market
Custom-Fit™, Styled-To-Fit™
Boat Covers and Bimini Tops.
-
100% Solution Dyed 9 oz./sq.yd. Polyester fabric
(in Grey, Tan, Navy Blue or Black)

TTopCovers® T-Top/Hard-Top Boat Covers and
T-Top Center Console Storage Curtains.
Top-Notch® Elite® is breathable, reversible, water repellent, UV resistant,
dimensionally stable (won't sag or stretch) and mildew resistant.
Because the yarn is solution dyed, color fastness is very good.
Top-Notch Elite® is backed by a
5-year Limited Fabric Warranty.
-
100% Solution Dyed 8 oz./sq.yd. Polyester fabric
(in Navy Blue or
Black)
is used for
T-Top Boat Covers and
T-Top Center Console Storage Curtains.

incorporating UV resistant characteristics for long-term color and strength retention
along with excellent breathablity and abrasion resistance.
The HydroMAX® finish raises the bar of hydrostatic performance and
delivers unsurpassed water repellency, mildew and oil resistance
without relying on environmentally unfriendly coating compounds.
WeatherMAX® has
anti-microbial properties
and a minimum UV resistance of 1000 hours
but only weighs 8.0 oz. per square yard
due to the use of a filament rather than a spun yarn like acrylic fabrics.
Excellent for anything from horse blankets to tough outerwear to marine grade tarps.
WeatherMAX® is backed by a
5-year Limited Fabric Warranty.
-
heavy duty, 600-denier, 7.6oz./sq.yd. solution dyed, marine grade polyester fabric

Carver®
Custom-Fit™, Styled-To-Fit™ Trailerable and
Over-Top Boat Covers,
Universal Seat-Covers and
Universal Leaning-Post Covers.
100% Solution Dyed polyester means Sun-DURA® colors are part of the polyester fiber itself,
rather than the dye adhering only to the surface of the fibers.

Carver®'s own unique finish provides exceptional water repellency while maintaining breathability for the health of the boat.
Made in USA by Glen Raven Mills® (North Carolina manufacturer of Sunbrella®) for Carver® Industries.
Carver® Sun-DURA® is backed by a
7 Year Limited Warranty.

Black Resilience™
is a proprietary tough, black or white stretchy fabric (like Spandex)
with a quadruple coating on the outside to reflect the sun to
keep things cool beneath.

pigmented vinyl coated (always white vinyl on the inside),
9oz./sq.yd. 2-ply polyester fabric

Poly/Cotton Duck ...
50/50 polyester/cotton "Duck" fabric
(from Dutch "doek")
is a heavy, plain woven blended fabric
offering the advantages of both cotton and polyester fibers blended in one fabric.
Cotton is a fully breathable fabric, which helps prevent mold and mildew in your boat.
However, as the thickness increases, the breathability decreases.
100% cotton tends to rip and wear out easily, depending on the weave.
Cotton canvas is a very durable and abrasion-resistant fabric,
but it can be very thick and heavy.
Polyester does not breathe, but it is very elastic and
therefore tends to be very tear resistant.
However, it is not as abrasion-resistant as cotton canvas.
Poly/Cotton blend fabrics combine the strengths of the two fibers.
Poly/cotton fabric is breathable, tear-resistant,
and can be fashioned into abrasion-resistant fabrics, like canvas.
We make many older Factory OEM Mooring Covers
(to order) in
Grey
#6 weight (13oz per 36"x22" piece) 50/50 Poly/Cotton Duck fabric.

premium, flexible Urethane-coated poly-vinyl-chloride (PVC) sheet "glass" (60% higher cost)
engineered to be ultra clear and resistant to the damaging effects from the sun's rays,
environmental fallout and scratching from handling.
It also blocks out the UltraViolet (UV) spectrum of light (90% UVA, 99% UVB, 99% UVC).

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.
- RNR-Marine™ recommends cleaning and removing all clear-vinyl prior to trailering, to avoid the harmful efects of rocks, bugs and oils on the vinyl!
