Looking for Canvas/Isenglass Shop Between Orange Beach, AL and Marathon, FL

I'm planning on enclosing the aft cockpit on our Meridian 490 PH and was wondering if anyone can recommend a good canvas shop between Orange Beach and Marathon in the Keys. Heading down the Tennessee River in Nov to Mobile then across to Clearwater, etc. One area that the canvas guy needs to address is where the rain water from the top deck spills right into the inside corner of the cockpit. Not sure why Bayliner did not make the overhang 1 foot longer
Thanks!!

I have seen the truck of a guy who does canvas work in the Orange beach area I believe it was at the Sportsman's Marina.I have no firsthand experience with him. You could call them or Orange Beach Marina to see if they know, or recommend, him. There have to be many along the way check marinas in Pensacola or Panama City too.
Good luck.
