Please describe the project specifications

With a grin on his face this customer was saying "let's go all-in" when he brought his Regal 2565 to our shop.
He wanted a complete new enclosure with new SS frames and every extra we could offer for our enclosures: velcroed shadings for the window panels and a shading for the windshield made out of Soltis 92 and separate front / back / side panels made out of Soltis 86 for air ventilation / shade. When all panels out of Soltis 86 are put in it's a complete enclosure serving as mosquito gaze on hot days.
For trailering the frames can be stored below the windshield but are secured in their deck fittings.

What is unique or complex about the project?

Before this customer brought his boat to our place he had carefully looked through our website and previous projects and therefore he had a clear imagination what he wanted.
Normally we would make the enclosure and maybe one or two extras but this project was unique since the customer stated clearly that he wanted everything possible.
Starting with the easy to store frames, the shadings and the additional enclosure made out of Soltis 86, we also made an additional extension for the bimini towards the bow and a full cover and a travel cover.
