Grady White®: RNR-Marine™ (A&J canvas) and our new 2022 canvas partner (for Great Lakes canvas) and are online dealers for GradyWhite® replacement canvs, covers and tops. Great Lakes and A&andJ made all canvas for Grady White® Hard-Top boats from 1980 to present, and all Bimini-Top boats from 1996 on, who work directly with Grady White® on patterns, design and quality, so every boat canvas product is guaranteed to fit and match the original canvas (we may need your old canvas to replicate older model Hard-Top models from the 1980s and 1990s, as the older patterns were damaged in 1999 Hurricane Floyd). We only sell OEM Grady White® Hard-Top canvas as a set to insure a perfect fit and it is made with Sunbrella® (Navy, Black or Cadet Grey) or White Stamoid® fabric with 40ga. (0.040-inch thick) Strataglass® coated clear vinyl windows and #10 zippers (5 teeth/inch, not #8). The OEM Grady White® Bimini-Top canvas is made in Sunbrella®; with 30ga. (0.030-inch thick) Eisenglass clear vinyl windows with #8 (6 teeth/inch) zippers.

There is also the popular and very active Great Grady Owners Forum with a lot of very knowledgeable Grady owners. If you need to replace your factory T-Top or Hard-Top, you can contact Winterville Machine Works in Winterville, NC.
Factory Original-Equipment-Manufacturer (OEM) Canvas for Grady White® boats: Our team patterned and manufactured the Factory Original-Equipment-Manufacturer (OEM) canvas for Grady White® Sportsman, Advance, Adventure, Chase, Coastal Explorer, Escape, Gulfstream, Islander, Marlin, Strike, Tournament, Freedom, Chesapeake, Seafarer, Journey, Express, Canyon, Fisherman and Voyager boats from 1981 to current.
We produce new canvas
(diagram explaining what
each piece of canvas is called)
in Navy(26) (not Captain Navy), Black(08) and some Cadet-Grey(30) Sunbrella, Ivory (off-white) Stamoid (G81) or White Stamoid (G01) fabric.
We often offer ANY color Sunbrella, Ivory (off-white) Stamoid (G81) or White Stamoid (G01)
to match your personal taste
(these colors may not be available from the dealer).
Note: 2024: We offer factory original (OEM) replacement canvas and covers for Grady White boats:
1) for HARD-TOP or T-TOP boats we will need your existing Canvas or Cover to use as patterns for a PERFECT fit (we will take them apart to pattern, so they will not be usable afterwards), and we can make any individual piece(s) you need, so please EMAIL us for factory OEM Grady White HARD-TOP or T-TOP canvas or covers , or
2) for BIMINI-TOP boats please EMAIL us for factory OEM 1996-CURRENT Grady White BIMINI-TOP canvas, tops or covers. Canvas and covers for Vista Bimini Top boats use #8 (6 teeth per inch) zippers. Canvas and covers for Hard Top boats use larger #10 (5 teeth per inch) zippers. We have Grady White® factory OEM HARD-TOP Visors, Curtains and Covers back to the 1980s. Grady White® installed the snaps in their boats, canvas and covers at their factory, so we cannot install the canvas snaps for you because we do not have locations (see Canvas/Snap Installation to learn about installing snaps). Grady has a great video on Strataglass® Maintenance. Hull Identification Number (HIN) = NTLsssssmbyy , where [yy]=model-year.
Windows are made with 30ga Eisenglass flat (not rolled) clear vinyl (Bimini-Top boats) and 40ga Strataglass(r) clear coated vinyl (Hard-Top boats) window material.
Specifications, care and cleaning of
Sunbrella, Ivory (off-white) Stamoid (G81) or White Stamoid (G01)
, 30ga Eisenglass flat (not rolled) clear vinyl (Bimini-Top boats) and 40ga Strataglass(r) clear coated vinyl (Hard-Top boats)
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 Grady White® boat.
This is the same canvas originally offered
from the Grady White® Factory
and sold by your local Grady White® 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 Grady White® Factory
when your boat was new.
Please be sure that you have the Factory Grady White® frame or matching canvas.
Size #10 (5 teeth/inch) and #8 (6 teeth/inch) zipper comparison and measurement |
- Compare your canvas or frame to the Grady White® factory OEM photos shown here,
- Check for tags with Grady White® OEM part numbers on existing canvas,
- Verify that your existing canvas has # 8 for Bimini setup, 10 for Hard-Top setup gauge zippers
(factory original-equipment Grady White® OEM zipper size):
- #8 gauge zippers have 6 teeth per inch and will NOT zip to #10 zippers,
- #10 gauge zippers have 5 teeth per inch and will NOT zip to #8 zippers,
- See zipper size comparison photo at right,
- Please note that after-market canvas makers often use the large #10 gauge zippers.
- The zipper gauge size is actually the height of the teeth, 8mm or 10mm tall for example. (#8 has 8mm tall teeth and #10 is 10mm tall for example). Since it is very difficult to measure the zipper tooth height, the easiest way to measure zipper size is to count the number of teeth over 2 inches: a #8 zipper has 12 teeth over 2 inches and a #10 zipper has 10 teeth over 2 inches.
Additional Shade for Grady White® 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 Grady White® boats: Our T-Topless™ folding T-Top` fits most Grady White® Spirit, Sportsman, Escape and Fisherman 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 Grady White® center console boats.
Factory Original-Equipment (OEM) Covers for Grady White® boats : We offer Factory OEM Bow and Aft-Tonneau (Cockpit) Covers (typically in durable Sunbrella®) to fit your Grady White® boat perfectly.
Custom After-Market Covers for Grady White® 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 Grady White® 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 Grady White® Spirit, Sportsman, Escape, Fisherman, Chase, Advance, Release, Freedom, Seafarer, Gulfstream, Islander, Express, Sailfish, Canyon and Bimini 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,

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.

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.
-

(in Navy Blue or
Black)

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.

is used for
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.

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.

#6 weight (13oz per 36"x22" piece) 50/50 Poly/Cotton Duck fabric.
- Vinyl ... Some of our Factory OEM covers are available 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.

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!
