Looked at a 2000 21 ' Seaswirl Striper 2100 WA cuddy cabin. All looked pretty good, except outside cushions were beat and there was no enclosure. It has a hard top, which was nice.
What price range would I be looking at for an enclosure, and suggestions on where to get it. (I'm near Dover, Del)
Same on cushions, but those really don't concern me as much. The vinyl on the cushions is stained and cracked.

Your local boat upholstery place, for all that, at whatever they charge. Could be a slow time, and they NEED a large job, or they could be booked months in advance and they charge a premium year round.

Enclosure can run a couple thousand, maybe much more depending on what you want, upholstery varies in the same way.

I charge $3000 to start in the Chicago area for Bimini top with enclosure. It depends on materials same with upholstery average cost $2500.People don't understand how much labor goes into making boat interiors and tops. some areas are much higher priced. MAKE SURE TO GET REFERALS FROM LOCAL MARINAS FIRST.

Mine has a hard top. Looking for windshield to top piece to block spray, don't care about back of cockpit.

sorry I misunderstood. You will have to check locally you may be closer to the $500 price range depending on what materials are used.

That sure sounds better. Thanks. What choice of materials would there be? I'd want clear plastic.
