Hi everyone,
My name is Kerry and I own Blue Water Canvas and Upholstery Inc. in Pompano Beach Fl. I was contacted by the owner of this forum (Jeffrey) primarily because of the work I do for Grady White. So first and foremost I would like to say thank you to him for this opportunity.
So here is a little about me. About 10 years ago I moved my business to a little bit bigger location than what I had and it happened to be next door to Pompano Beach Marine Center, The largest Grady White dealer and service center around. Over time I began to do all of there boats. New canvas, enclosures, upholstery, misc. The more I did the more I was contacted from other Grady Dealers to do work for them. For the most part I do all of the canvas and upholstery for all of the Grady boats that go through south Florida to the Bahamas and more. As for the Grady Factory, For the past 6 years I have been connected to there website as one of there authorized vendors. They have 2 company's that make there brand new stuff and the replacement stuff for about 5 years back. Anything beyond that I try to handle. As far as I know I think I am the only one that has the access to all of the factory colors that are used. Even on the brand new boats. Authorized by them of course so that's why. Due to my work load and other factors, I moved again this past January to an even bigger building to accommodate all of the work I do for the local Grady dealer down here.
As for what I have and what I can do. There are a lot of Grady's. Keep that in mind. I have a lot of patterns of cushions and enclosures but I do not have all of them. As the boats get older it gets harder to replicate. example, 1980-1995's There were a lot of one-off cushions, upholstery and canvas made for those boats done direct from the factory. Even some of the newer boats have one-off canvas or upholstery on them. So at that point we would need the originals sent to us so we could duplicate it for you.
If you have a Grady in need of canvas or upholstery, just ask. I will do my best to accommodate you. Every day I get shipments from customers with Grady's in need of factory replacement vinyl, canvas, enclosures, misc.
If you have a moment go to my website at: Bluewatercanvas.com and look around.
Thank you again to Jeffery and thank you to everyone for taking the time to read this.
Have a great day!
