Hey all,
I'm in need of a new boat cover. Badly. I had been using Classic Accessories cover but sadly it only made it through one season before giving way. I think the sunlight must make the material get brittle. Who knows...anyway, its gone. My Bayliner has a bow cover from the factory but nothing from the windshield on back to the stern. SO, I'm at the crossroads of what the next best step is. I have a quote for a custom canvas cover to be made for $825, which is a huge sticker shock to me, but I'm told that it'll last upwards of 10 years and that makes the reasoning a little bit better. On the other hand, who knows where my boat will be in 10 years (Lord willing, still here!).
I'm just hoping I can get some seasoned owners' (or new owners too) opinions on the matter. Is there a better option than the covers sold on Amazon that won't kill my budget like a canvas shop? Does that canvas shop estimate sound high?
Thanks for any and all help guys!
Dustin
