  • Argo convertible vs. Alaska Custom Canvas ?

    In my quest for a light insulated top for the Argo, I looked at poly-wall sheathing and pink foiled insulation. Poly-wall is only rated for -20F and too much expansion and contraction for interior Alaska. Plan B, Argo Convertible or Alaska Custom Canvas in
    Fairbanks. Price vs. value, any thoughts or reviews from the members would be appreciated.

      How about something like this for an example
      Insulated tarps snf curing blankets can be used to keep the cold out of your work area or to protect items with a thick cushioned material.


      May work ok...

        Alaska Custom Canvas has or had materials that are good for -67F and I've seen some of the work they've done on a buddies boat, nice work.

          Go with custom canvas on vanhorn they do excellent work and decently priced as well as having the material to withstand the extreme interior cold.
