Engine Cover Needed-Crushed by Tree

   Hey,

Thanks everyone.  After suffering the defeat of time I did have it rebuilt.  The tree took out a manifold, flame arrestor, and cracked the top cap of the boat.  The bolts holding the manifold were offset by 1/8 inch and the the block split at the front engine mount.  Keeping my fingers crossed on that one. Just for everyones info, fiberglass work amounted to $750.00 and upholstery for the engine cover was $400.00.  New manifold,bolts, gasket, etc. were $250.00.  Joy!

I'm back in the water.

Thanks again from Jacksonville, FL.

T out

	I have one off of a 1990 Brendella that is in relatively good shape. The upholstery has one small cut in it and some mildew but I think it could be cleaned up well. The cover is constructed of all fiberglass and has no plywood in it. I am just outside of Charlotte, NC and if you are interested I will get you some pictures.

	Just how bad is it? Have you considered just repairing it?

	I have a 1989 and am in need of an engine cover. Color not a factor. Will drive a reasonable distance. Thanks T out
