Custom Boat

I'm currently making a boat cover for my sailboat. I'm using canvas because I have the material readily available to me. I'm concerned that my seams may leak. I plan on coating the cover with waterproofing spray to help shed water and leaves. The seams will be under stress and I'm looking for something other than the waterproofing in a can in which to seal the joined pieces and still afford protection from leaks. If anyone has any ideas it would be greatly appreciated.

Triple stitched, flat felled seams in canvas should not leak without any sealant. I have a cover from the below link for last NINE years in year-round sun & it is still in good condition. Cover was 6 or so years old at least when I got it but was winter stored under cover.

They may have example of the above. Also if the canvas is not UV protected you are wasting your time & energy.
Sell the canvas & buy the cover....

www.trickedoutinteriors.com Custom boat upholstery, seat covers with flames, instructional video for boat seats.

I have a vinyl cover with the cotton lining. There are vents that are where the support poles go. It's very durable and has lasted about ten years. No one online has anything like this. I've googled. Any suggestions?

There is a canvas shop in the community where I live. They make custom boat covers. As a matter of fact the local marina told me they get all their covers there even if stock covers are available because the price is so reasonable and the quality is good. Their web page is http://www.brumleveind.com/. They are good honest people I do not think you could go wrong.

nothing out of the ordinary except for a four foot extended center console bar.

20' Deck length, or 20' Overall length, that includes bow rails and other over hangs.
The center console is extra, for a custom fit one.
Just figure it this way, material, good Sunbrella, $44.00 +- by state.
Beam figures in also, I guess is a trailerable so is 8' max Beam.
20'x8'=160sq ft.
That stuff is sold in yards.
Then you need Thread, good thread, go cheap with the thread and the cover will last 6 months, maybe.
Add te Center Console, add 20sq ft.,
180sq ft.
Get an estimate in your area, that is always the best bet. Also get advise from other boaters on wich Upholsterer does good work and which ones do not.
I would charge about $500-$3000 for that as it is site unseen and I have no idea how many Stanchions it may need , usually 4 does it.
