Re: Boat Cover

Have you checked with a local upholstery shop? That would be my first stop.

Re: Boat Cover

You can always buy a generic cover and tie some weights/block to the tie down loops and throw them in the water. This worked for me when I could not find one for my old Fabuglas.

Re: Boat Cover

Snap on covers are generally a custom job.

Re: Boat Cover

Contact your local upholstery shops. If you don't have a trailer to get the boat to them, I'm sure one of them will know a mobile canvas person that can go to the boat.

Re: Boat Cover

I'm just using a nice trailer cover and putting cinder blocks in the water next to my boat with some rope and floats. I Can't see how a $600 custom cover works better then a $100 trailer one when done right.

Well it doesn't have cinder blocks involved I can tell you that much :p

I have used the 2 liter bottles filled with water trick before myself.
