Default Boat Top from Jerry's

[img]graemlins/1zhelp.gif[/img] I'm strongly considering having Jerry's Upholstery build me a top for my 20' NR Scout. I was amazed at the price he quoted me over the phone (Top Gun Material and all). Price was less than half of what I had received from competitors closer to metro area. I know several of you have had tops built by Jerry - I'm wondering if everyone has been pleased with the workmanship, etc., or if anyone has any concerns, pointers, etc., I should know about? Thanks in advance for the advice!

Jerry did a top for me 2 years ago. Full top set and back curtain- He beat the others by $200. First rate work- Clean, well lit organized shop. Stuck to his price quote ever though he did extra work not spec'd.

Jerry built the top for my 20' Jetcraft last year and did an excellent job. I got an all new top, drop curtain, and mooring cover at a great price. He even added material at all of the rub points so it wouldn't wear out. Great work, great price, and great guy.

Jerry's in Boring did my top on the 19' Harbercraft. Full top, sides, back drop, fish door, two zippers on front section.

He let me pick the material, color, piping color, and height.

Great top, and beat the comps by far.

Jerry does great work for reasonable prices. He did my top, side/aft curtains and tonneau on my last boat. Highly recommended.

He doesn't do the shows. Too much cost and time, and he gets plenty of word of mouth bookings. If you want it by springer time, I would get an order on the books soon.

Jerry has done alot of work for me over the years; skirting for my 5th wheel, back drop for my Duckworth and everything was great. And with extras at great prices. There should be no doubt who to go to--Jerry. Be ready to talk hunting and fishing though; he loves it and has great stories.
