Original frame and top......I might still have a top in storage, no frame tho. The top is stiff as a board. We tried to engineer the one top fits all. It might serve as a pattern. I never throw anything way (just ask my wife), so the chances are very good I have it still. The metal strips on top of the transom are hardware store stuff, Lowe's or Home Depot. Those were aluminum, but the S/S from West Marine may be better. The curtain - - good luck. The hood may not be as difficult as I think it could be. Check with Bass-pro stores or similar stores. When I bought an outboard from Bass-pro I went into the back shop area, and they had piles and piles of outboard bits. I mean seriously a lot. They gut them for customer repair jobs and from trade-ins, man, it was really a mountain of parts and shrouds.
The curtain was heat stamped embossed by Wise Seating. They may have something somewhere, here is their email wiseco@wiseseats.com
Their corporate office building is next door to where my son meets for chess club on Saturday. I will check their hours and pay them a visit.

James, If you have a top for my Cobra I'll be amazed  I guess I could make a frame out of something as someone said here or in the other group earlier. That would be sweet to have a top for this Cobra. You say it is stiff as a board? I wonder if there is anything to put on it to soften it up and make it soft again? It would be worth a try anyway maybe? If not then yes a pattern for someone in an upholstry shop to go by. Anyway let me know what you find when you get time. Thanks, Nick |
