Hello iBoaters!
I bought a used 2001 Glastron SX 175 that didn't come with a cover. Originally the boat came with a bow and cockpit snap-on cover, but that has long since disappeared before I purchased the boat. Would anyone happen to have a recommendation on where I can pick those up? They seem to be few and far between in the depths of the internet, so any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,
Brian H

Welcome, as you have discovered they're hard if not impossible to find.
Your best bet is to get a custom one made from a local canvas/tent/awning shop.

If the boat model is popular enough, a place like Overtons may stock custom covers. If not, a canva$$ shop will make you one,

the best choice is to find someone who can make you custom covers. don't even try to find them

even if you find a stock cover, you have to go to an upholstery shop to fit all the snaps because they do not come pressed in.

so save yourself a whole bunch of headache and just go to your local canvas/upholstery shop and have covers made.

If you're a cheap ass like me, you buy a giant heavy duty tarp, some snaps and a tool to press them on. 2 hours later, mooring cover! I'm on season #7 with it, no worse for wear. Not pretty, but effective, and everything was less than 50 bucks. And takes me 4 minutes to put on.
