Cover for 78 cc martinique question

I've got a 78 martinique. It shares the hull as the 2nd gen ski nautique, but has a minority different windshield than the straight glass of the SN. I also have the standard dual airhorns, where I don't think I've seen those on a SN.

I can't imagine this cover wouldn't fit my martinique, as it's not THAT custom to not be able to fit. https://www.overtons.com/hot-shot-coated-polyester-boat-cover-for-correct-craft-ski-nautique-closed-bow-303435.html#q=Correct%20craft%20cover&pmin=200.00&pmax=300.00&start=1&sz=12&cgid=covers-tops%2Fboat-covers%2Fcustom-fit-boat-covers

Overtons won't accept returns of it doesn't fit

My old cover is needing replacement after 20+ years.

I'm looking mostly for storage, not trailering.

Thank you very much for the quick reply! These are on sale through tonight, and I wanted to take advantage of the sale price

Angola does NOT make trailerable covers. Suspect horns and placement won’t matter much on any of the major brands, so long as they generally end up in the canopy forward of the windshield. Would expect windshield height and shape (mostly corner location) to vary enough between a martinique and SN to matter, if it’s a cover meant to fit properly. Angola would fit and likely has the pattern, no need to order the wrong one and cross your fingers.

Your going somewhere? Actually out on the road with a trailer and a boat? Did I mention tow it down the road with a car? Ice isn't even out yet you have 3 1/2 months to go.

Nope, wouldn’t trailer with any of my Angola’s more than a short trip in town at 30mph or less (if it were raining or such). No mooring style cover is tight enough and don’t expect it to trailer. Had a trailerable Rankin (like a Coversports) and that’s the only style I’ve seen without snaps that could be towed without buffeting. I’ll pass on the gel and cover damage otherwise. YMMV

Truly trailerable covers are a work of art but also a huge PITA to put on. Unless snaps.

Update to this thread, the cover arrived a couple weeks after I ordered it, and it fits well enough. I'm happy with it for the cost.
