I have a 2007 Lund Classic side console I bought new. I also ordered the OEM cover and it was crap. A thin piece of fabric that did not even cover or protect the rug on bow section. Came with the snaps for the Lund snap system and was totally overpriced. So I returned it and had a local canvas shop do a trailable cover for me which was made from Top Gun. This fabric stretches better and Sunbrella stretches too much and is not as good for trailable boat covers. They installed the snaps and the Lund style snap pieces that fit inside the Lund rails. Greatest system. I paid $700 back in 2007 and it still looks new! If you trailer at highway speeds a custom cover is a great investment. Otherwise, just get a stock Walmart type cover that comes with the rope tie downs and call it a day! If you try and trailer with a cover that does not hug the boat and is tied down . . . the highway speed winds will tear it apart.

X's 2 on the Top Gun fabric for a boat cover! I'm on my 3rd Top Gun boat cover on 3 different boats, 1750 Lund Tyee, 1850 Lund Tyee, and 1950 Lund Tyee Grand Sport. These covers are the BEST. I trailered many hundreds of miles with each of the covers and they held up perfectly.
On my current 1950 Tyee, the cover is now 2 years old. The shop that made if for me said that the latest version of Top Gun is called Top Notch. I forget all the reasons he liked it, but one of the reasons is that he could seam weld some of the seams. This latest cover ran me about $1100.00. Worth every penny. The shop used all existing snaps on the boat but added a few more on the bow.
