Due to the overwhelming success of the last group buy, Rankin has expressed interest in doing another round. Due to the busy boat show season, I did not foresee this happening- but now everyone who missed out on the first buy has a second chance!
Anyone with a Rankin cover (especially those who participated in the last group buy), feel free to add comments. These covers are terrific! The logistics will basically work the same as last time. Many questions were asked and answered in the http://correctcraftfan.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5125&PN=0&TPN=1 - First Round Thread . All info is below: Background info: Rankin offers top of the line Sunbrella covers that are truly trailerable. Their workmanship is top notch. The covers use a drawstring that tightens with a ratchet system and attaches firmly to the rub rail, so no snaps are necessary. The covers fit so well that no support poles are needed to shed water. This group buy is applicable to any boat for which Rankin has a template. They claim that they have all Correct Craft templates dating back to 1989. The 1989 templates may or may not work on older boats. See Rankin’s website for more information: http://www.rankincovers.com/ - http://www.rankincovers.com/ Pricing Information: 
Other Details: All Boats with Towers will require certain measurements to ensure an accurate cover. Descriptions of the measurements you need to take will be available on the order form that I send you. No cleat or gas filler doors will be offered on the covers. Rankin has offered to send a small amount of extra fabric (for a small charge) to those who would like to have these options added locally. Colors: All of Rankin’s standard colors are eligible for this group deal. Note: Red fabric is now an upcharge of $50 The full color list is as follows: 
*For better legibility on the names of the colors, see Rankin's website: http://www.rankincovers.com/product-info.htm - http://www.rankincovers.com/product-info.htm Shipping: Shipping charges will be the actual shipping cost from their facilities in Oregon. Shipping in the continental U.S. should range from approximately $15-$30. Warranty: Rankin’s standard warranty still applies. This warranty will cover the Sunbrella material for 5 years from the date of purchase. There is a lifetime warranty (for the original purchaser) on the workmanship of the cover. How to Order: Send me an email with Rankin in the title: TRBenj@gmail.com. I will send you an order form. Fill it out and send it back to me. When I have collected enough orders, I will submit them to Rankin. Payment: Once I submit the orders, Rankin will take your payment directly. They take Mastercard and Visa. They can be reached at (425) 483-9266 from 7am - 4pm Pacific Standard Time. Be sure to mention my name and this group buy. I do not have a date when we will stop accepting orders for this group buy, but I will update this post when I do. I expect to start submitting orders in groups so that they may start production. Thank you for your interest! -Tim |

Tim: I am interested but if I am reading your thread right, they think the '89 templets will fit older boats? But I am sure my '80 is way smaller that a '89, but that is what they are saying, that it'll fit?

Maybe an 89 will fit 87-88 models. If that's the case then I might be looking into this. Good cover for a good price.

My guess would be that the '89 template *should* fit all 2001 models (82-89). The 87-89 are all pretty similar with the raised windshield base- so I would think SkiBum would be OK.
JBear, since the pre-2001 hulls are smaller, I dont think they can use the same template. The covers fit so precisely that they probably wont work. Ill give Rankin a call and verify which templates they have. ------------- |

are there vents in the cover? with the fit being so tight and if there are not any vents then I wouldn't want to leave the cover on other than traveling down the road otherwise you'll be dealing with mildow all of the time.
John, I can hook you up with a sunbrella cover for less money than the rankin and it will fit like a glove for your '81. I'll give you the info this week-end when we're doing the intake and what ever else you want done to the boat. ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=756&sort=&pagenum=1&yrstart=1979&yrend=1979 - 79 nautique |

These covers fit so tightly that I would not take the gamble as to whether a cover will fit the older boats. It seems like you only really have an inch of tolerance around the sides of the cover- it's a very tailored fit. I suppose you could get the 89 one and have a local shop tailor it in if needed.
79, sunbrella covers are supposed to breathe very well so I'm not too concerned about venting. |
Posted By: TRBenj

Correct. We've had several sunbrella covers that stayed on for weeks at a time. The fit wasnt as precise as the Rankins, but using a combination of support poles and straps/bungees, they were pretty tight. The only mildew issues Ive seen is when a damp cover would have direct prolonged contact with the vinyl skins- and that cover could probably use re-waterproofing. I believe mildew is much more common on the older/cheaper covers made out of canvas and other inferior materials. I dont anticipate having any issues with the Rankin. ------------- |

it has nothing to do with being old or new, the fabric is coated and it does not breath if it did then water would pa$$ through.
the oppertive word is SUPPOSE TOO, so that means you are a$$uming and all that does is make an a$$ out of you. besides it's not the cover mildowing its the seats and everything inside of the boat that is the issue. When you make it air tight then you trap all of the moister from the carpet, bilge and towels left in the boat that causes the mildow beacuse all of the moister is now trapped and has no where to go. Same bullsh*t happens when you shrink wrap a boat for winter and don't use damp rid to collect the moister oh well there's a dumb a$$' that well spend more thinking that it's better when in all actuallity their wrong and waisted their money. ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=756&sort=&pagenum=1&yrstart=1979&yrend=1979 - 79 nautique |

Just to clear things up, Joel was correct. Sunbrella is breathable. Therefore, a sunbrella cover will not create an air-tight seal and promote mildew. Its a totally different scenario from shrinkwrapping, which requires vents, as you mentioned.
Maybe "coated" is the wrong word- but sunbrella can be "treated" to maintain its water repellency and still be breathable. From Sunbrella's website: Q: Is Sunbrella fabric waterproof? A: Because Sunbrella furniture fabrics are designed to be breathable, they are water repellent, but not completely waterproof. Over time, the water repellency can be refreshed by using 303 High Tech Fabric Guard™ (www.303products.com). ------------- |

guess your reading comprehension isn't very good and your having trouble undestanding sunbrella's website.
When they are talking about the fabric being breathable it is refering to it drying out quickly if the fabric gets wet, not wheather or not moister pa$$es throught it which it doesn't. It's all of the moister that is present in the boat before you install the cover and trap in the boat when you install a tight cover that doesn't allow any air circulation so what happens next is mildow growth on your seats, carpet and anything else inside of the boat. ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=756&sort=&pagenum=1&yrstart=1979&yrend=1979 - 79 nautique |

My understanding is that water vapor can pa$$ through sunbrella (hence, breathable), but not liquid water (hence, water repellant). Again, I have not experienced any mildew problems with our sunbrella covers. ------------- |

79,A lot of the new fabrics have this feature,but you don't read well either,they have the ability to stop rain ie water, but allow moisture,water vaper,to pa$$ through the fabric.Karens new foulies,Henry Lloyd has this as a selling point,it will stop spash and driven rain, but will allow body heat and moisture to pa$$ right through.
Put on a slicker suit and you will see the difference,nothing in nothing out........It's called breathable for that reason.................boat dr I did not know you designed covers as well as the other stuff you have listed on this site,and the product line is named________. ------------- boat dr /diaries/details.asp?ID=4631 - 1949 Dart /diaries/details.asp?ID=1533 - 1964 American Skier |

when I was younger I did make covers too. late 80's
Ward''s awning and boat covers in Anderson, IN the water has to be next to the fabric for it to wick thru the fabric and breath, very common in many fabrics used today, but it's not the same with water vapor, it's a solid vs a gasious state and they do not react the same. stick that 600 dollar cover on your boat, leave it outside all winter in Indiana with out damp rid or any other simular product and see how much mildow is on your seats after two months time and you'll change your story. ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=756&sort=&pagenum=1&yrstart=1979&yrend=1979 - 79 nautique |

79, Im not sure I understand your argument. Rankin is not using some fabulous new proprietary miracle fabric. Sunbrella has been around for a long time and is commonly regarded as the best material available for boat covers. This is primarily due to its UV blocking ability and the fact that it breathes. Do you have an issue with sunbrella fabric that you would like to share with the rest of us?
Or do you have a problem with Rankin's precise fit? Seems like most covers are supposed to fit tight, otherwise they wouldnt shed water- does the fact that Rankin doesnt need poles, straps or snaps to tighten really change anything? Or is it a problem with the price? $600 is a lot of money, but some people are willing to pay more for a quality boat cover- you know, they dont want to, "go cheap and install some junk sh*t." If the 25% discount isnt enough to entice you, I apologize. ------------- |

Great bargain you got there. Still need to work on that comprehension. You select the type of fabric for durability to the elements. Does mold grow faster in a closed container or open?

I sure hope so! 79, from the Overton's link you reference: "Sunbrella is strong, water-repellent, and resists mildewing. It's world renowned for prolonging sun rot from ultraviolet rays. Sunbrella is used on boats from dinghies to yachts when nothing but the best will do." Yes, the Overton's cover is $50 cheaper than the group buy price. Like I said, the Rankin is not cheap. I believe we've had an Overton's cover in the past (on our '88) and its held up fine. I am sure the workmanship on the Rankin is at least equal, if not better- I'll get back to you in 10 years with a definite answer, but its initial quality appears to be very good. With regards to fit, the Rankin is far superior. ------------- |

79, you didn't buy one. so what, let them discover and deal with whatever comes with buying whatever cover and using it how they want. It does not appear that Tim is misleading anybody. Common sense says don't lay up a boat wet or damp. Just wait, the 88 is going to take down everybody this summer at GL, straight down to the bottom.  ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=5164&sort=&pagenum=1" rel="nofollow - 99 |

I am defianately in on this buy. I ripped my cheapo cover about two months ago. I was going to go with Overton's cover at $50 cheaper especially since it covered the platform. However, for only $50 extra, I am going to give the famous Rankin cover a go. I think I still have the order form from the first group buy round. ------------- |

I spoke to Pat from Rankin Covers this morning. He confirmed that he only has CC templates back to '89. However, he indicated that he may be willing to create patterns for the older boats.
If anyone is local to the Seattle area and would be able to provide their boat so a template could be made, please shoot me an email: TRBenj@gmail.com I have also submitted the first group of orders Rankin. Thanks to everyone for their interest! ------------- |

I have also received word that Rankin now has the template for the 80-81 Ski Nautiques. Pricing will be the same as all other boats under 21'.

I've been a fan of Rankin covers for the last seven years, and I've used them on my previous two boats.
This last summer I ordered a cover from Pat for my Super Air. I was told it would take three weeks for the cover to be made and shipped. It took five weeks, but I figured a quality cover was worth the wait. When the cover arrived I put in on the boat, and noticed right away the rear straps didn't match the back of my boat. I called Pat's shop and explained to his daughter my situation. She told me she'd leave a message with Pat to call me back. After a week, and no call, I called and them again, and again I was told Pat would call me back. After yet another week, I called again, and this time his daughter asked that I send pics of the issue. I sent pics and asked that Pat call me one more time. When I failed to receive a call this time, I called and caught Pat when he answered the phone. Pat told me how sorry he was, and that If I could bring my boat up north and meet him we could take care of this. We agreed to meet on Thursday of the next week. Well, Thursday arrives, and I've driven my boat to the agreed location, and no Pat. I call and Pat explains that he forgot about our appointment. Pat asks me If he can just stop by my house the following day on his way down to a job. Now by this time I'm no longer in any mood to be patient, but I figure if I want this to get taken care of I had better be civil. I take the day off of work at wait at my house for Pat to come by. When Pat arrives we put the cover on the boat and he tells me without installing tie down pegs on the transom of my boat it won't strap properly. While we are assessing this, I also notice the cinch mechanism on the left side is upside down and backwards. Pat agrees to send me a new cinch and transom pegs for the boat when he gets back to the shop. I wait a week and call back. Of course I get his daughter again, and the same line that she will leave him a message. To date I've called for times and have yet to receive the hardware from him. Nine months and $800.00 later... No resolve. In my opinion Rankin has completely blown any chances of ever getting my business again. Going forward when I hear someone is considering purchasing a cover from him I'm going to tell this story. I'm going to call Pat again today and ask for the hardware. I've decided to start providing a daily log on here, Wakeworld, Wakeboarder, and Planet Nautique in an effort to get some sort of resolve. |

Those little pegs you speak of were included with my cover. I had to ask Tim here what they were for. Tim called Rankin and was told some boats/owners need them and thus they include them. I would send them to you, but I may us the pegs to hold my swim platform material in place. If I do not, I will send to you, but I am so busy renovating a house that the boat gets very little attention now-a-days. ------------- |

Wow, I have to say thats the first bad experience Ive heard about Rankin. Everyone Ive dealt with for the group buy (40+ people) has received very good service. Covers were received promptly and any errors/changes were handled quickly. Pat has always returned my phone calls, so this is very surprising to me.
From what Ive read and experienced myself, your case seems to be an exception. Shoot me an email and Ill be glad to help if I can, Ive never had a problem getting in touch with them: TRBenj@gmail.com Good luck and hope you get it resolved! ------------- |

Jim, Im not sure if Rankin has the template for the Barefoot Nautique. I know they have the Ski Nautique back to '89, so its certainly worth a call to ask them. Their number is (425) 483-9266 if you want to contact them directly.
Remember though- even if they have the template for the '89 BFN, the windshield is different on the earlier years. The fit is very tailored, so theres no guarantee it will fit your '87 just right. Then again, it might be OK- just something to keep in mind. ------------- |

I might be in for the '62 Classic. I emailed the company and offered to make a CAD drawing that they could use to make their pattern. I am waiting for the owner to get back to me later today. If he and I can do it, any other Classic owners interested? ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=1868&sort=&pagenum=1 - 62 Classic http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=5242&sort=&pagenum=1 - 2002 Super Air |

Raindog, I wish you luck and hope it works out. I believe the Classic and the Barracuda share the same basic hull, deck and windshield dimensions (can anyone verify that?).
Pat may be somewhat reluctant to build a cover based on dimensions though- their templates are so precise that he usually requires having the boat in person. Again, if anyone is in the PNW (Snohomish, WA) and has a boat that Rankin doesnt currently have a template for, I think they would be interested in making new patterns. They recently made one for the 80-81 Ski Nautique. ------------- |

quinner,
Tim gave me number to reach Pat directly. I called it twice today and it just rang until a message stated there was no mail box set up. I got a hold of his daughter today around four, and she apologized (AGAIN) for not calling me today. She took my address down because they say they don't have it (STRANGE) and I've been assured that the hardware is going to be shipped first thing Monday. I wish Rankin was as good at follow through as they are at promises, maybe I'd have a functional cover by now.

Ive been using this thread to keep everyone up to date on the group buy. I understand that you have a gripe, but youve said your piece so Id appreciate it if you didnt continue to use it as a platform to air out your dirty laundry. Ive been dealing with Rankin on a consistent basis over the last 5 months, and youre the first person Ive encountered who has had a sour experience. Obviously there has been some degree of miscommunication- so if I can be of any help in getting your issue resolved, let me know. ------------- |

Huffy, the group buy ended a week ago. It might be worth a call into Rankin and see if theyre willing to work with you on the price: (425) 483-9266
The hull on the '79 is the same as the '80-81, but the windshield is different. Not sure how well it would fit. ------------- |

Thanks! I think I can make it another year, but I will need to buy one soon. Let me know if anyone has a good place to buy one for my 79'

I have a 1997 196. I can't stop water from pooling in the corners about one foot in front of the aft seat. I've tried poles, etc. Does the Rankdin cover have this problem? How does it avoid this type of pooling. ------------- '97 196 |

Last time I checked, they had the CC templates back to '89. Aemmer, call Rankin and talk to Pat- he's always looking to add more templates. ------------- |

Aemmer, Im sure there is a way to get a template made without having to go through the trouble of registering your trailer. Pat may be willing to come to you- it doesnt hurt to ask. If need be, perhaps you could borrow someone elses trailer (or plate  ) for the longer drive? ------------- |

Did Rankin ever get template for the 2001's. I live in their neighborhood (25 miles) and would be willing to license my trailer to get the 88 up there for measurements if you all have a need. ------------- 88 2001 |

TRB,
I would make the time if peers on this site have the need. I live 1 block from our community boat launch and haven't licensed my trailer in years. I would make the effort though if there is a need for the boat as a template up at Rankin. T ------------- 88 2001 |

TRB,
You get another group sale going. If the need is there, I commit to getting the 88 up to Rankin in a timely manner. No worries, T ------------- 88 2001 |

Thats great, but you'll need to bring it to Snohomish, WA for Rankin to do the fitting.  Unfortunately, they dont have any templates for the older boats... yet.

Same here. However, I don't know if there are any Classics or Barracudas in the Washington area. Rankin will not make a cover unless they can put their hands on the boat. ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=1868&sort=&pagenum=1 - 62 Classic http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=5242&sort=&pagenum=1 - 2002 Super Air |
