Quinte Canvas Manufacturing (Top Shop) Inc.

We purchased a winter cover for our boat a few years ago. They had the pattern for our model so the cover fit perfectly. The cover and supporting frames were well made. Their Arctic Guard proprietary canvas cover material, a polyester/cotton made to their specifications, is strong and has held up with no issues over several winters now. Great customer service too.

I bought a custom boat cover years ago and have had nothing but trouble. The cover and frame didn't fit the stern area. I cannot properly fit the cover with the mast up despite being told I could. The joint connectors are a pain to install as are the rib braces and wood 1x2" because I have no toe rails ( most boats today). I have jury rigged the cove to work. The worst is the black corrosion that forms on the aluminum poles and runs onto my deck. It gets worse every year. Very hard to remove. I have replaced all of the connectors, wood 1x2 and the side braces with better systems from the competition. I learned from them the aluminum tubing should have been anodized to prevent oxidation and corrosion. I have now done this after completely disassembling the framing components at a cost of $375 and my time. No knowledge of anodising or offer of compensation from the owner. Worst boat decision I ever made. Genco covers are far superior.
