 Topic: Where to find custom cover 68??Posted: March-04-2009 at 3:34pm |

I live in northern Indiana and am trying to find a good place that could make a custom cover for my 68 Mustang. All I seem to be able to fing online is the type that has straps and I need one that has snaps and is made for the boat. Any help is appreciated.

Snaps themselves arent bad, but I HATE putting holes in my boat when it can be avoided. I would consider a nice fitting custom cover with a drawstring.

I've always used a ski tique cover on my mustang, it's a little big, but it works.

Yes unless you like the looks of snaps on the hull sides. Plus, as long as you are having a custom cover made. I recommend to have it made at least to the water line or even better to the chines. If outside, it will keep the UV from attacking the hull. |

Also as far as the cover. I have buttons (snaps) all the way around right under the lip of the edge. I may need to dock the boat in the water up to a week at times and cannot get under it to pull drawstrings tight and what not. So I wanted to get a replacement cover for it. I already have one with the straps for trailering and setting out of the water as well. And yes, I do have a float and bilge.....
