Please describe the project specifications

This project consisted of a new aft enclosure for a SeaRay 390. A minimalistic approach was utilized to modernize the look and provide an expansive view. Breaks in the windows were kept to a the minimal amount possible and aligned with the boats support structure to provide a maximum view. Clean inside finishes were incorporated including all covered zippers and custom top end zippers pulls to allow for ease of use. Advanced pattern techniques were utilized to eliminate bulk, wrinkles and excess material particularly in the corners where it is often seen for a clean smooth fit and finish. This enclosure was made with 40G clear soft vinyl (not hard sided polycarbonate). Transitional "C" shape custom split zip windows were incorporated to allow access to the external bumper cleat but also prevent water penetration through the u-zip window. Removable roll up straps were provide to add to the clean finish and not intrude in the expansive view of the panels when not in use.
