Bought a pop top 1981 C 22 w/o curtain/screen/windows for pop top. Haven't even seen what the cover should look like. Can it be made instead of bought. It looks like there are few of them out there for sale, used.

Nancy,
Making a cover should not be a huge job. The stock cover is made with quite heavy vinyl and lots of windows with no provision for flyscreen. This makes for quite a bulky thing to stow. The windows are also very easy to scratch. I would be inclined to make one out of a coated nylon with fewer or no windows and with integrated flyscreen.
I don't have any pictures. Before we set ours up for the first time, it was very hard to visualize. You would save a lot of time if you could find one to use for a pattern. |

Thanks, Joe. There are a few C 22s on the lake. I'll ask around till I find one with cover and check it out. And then try your suggestions. |
