Boat covers

Mine was around $740 with shipping.

To tryathlete ,sorry I didn’t see your information on cover sport,thanks Bob

Mine is sun dura maroon.  I do store with a roof over the boat, but the color and water resistance has persisted nicely.  I had just bought the boat, and it is my second so I did not splurge for the sumbrella which is supposed to be the best.  The sun dura is a more modern fabric and it is more thin, but there are reinforcement for the window.  It also has built in snaps for a bow and stern pole.  I do not use the bow one.  The stitching at the snap has held up nicely.  I cut a noodle to put the metal ratchet into at the stern that tightens the rope in the cover.

Did you mean Carver Sports ?

I recently received my custom cover for my 1989 SN 2001 from Cover sports.  Fits great and easy ti put on.

Angola Canvas was the official supplier to Mid West Correct Craft

Carver Covers has the pattern too, and mine has done great on my 85.  Been around here long enough to see Angola covers mentioned again and again, always positively and highly rated.  I have never priced them, but if too $$ give Carver Covers a shot. 

That’s either a Rankin or a Coversports cover. Never seen anyone duplicate that style as a one-off (aka “custom”). Kind of a pain to put on, but a very tight fit and the only truly “trailerable” style cover that is mass produced.

Expect to pay almost double for that style vs a high quality mooring cover like Angola or Skiboatcovers. Longevity shouldn’t be a factor with either, so long as you’re getting sunbrella and aren’t abusing it (like trailering with a mooring cover, etc).

Thanks for checking,I’ve had terrible luck with two mid range covers,would have been ahead to buy a good one in the first place

Hey Bob, right after I saw your note I sent a note to the PO asking him if he's got the persons contact info. The PO did mention that at one time he recalled this person made covers for CC, so maybe someone on here will also chime in that might have knowledge. It's a super cover. I can shoot you some pics of the adjustable hold-downs that run along the rail. It's a very slick set up and the first cover I've ever used that is snap-free. I rank snaps right up there with Satan!;-)

Can't buy that one. Custom job. Molded, padded and reinforced in all the proper spots. Can sit in a downpour with zero puddling. Came with my boat from the PO.
