A friend of mine recently got a '97 SN 197 but the cover is bad. He's looking for a good fitting one (not one that looks like a shower cap) but a reasonably priced one. Any suggestions on a vendor that does a good job of model/year specific Nautiques? (here in the USA) I thought I had seen something here previously, but a search of the forum didn't come up with anything (assume maintenance is the appropriate forum).
Thanks in advance,
Gordon

Angola is a good option. Skiboatcovers.com should also have a pattern for a boat that new.
Sunbrella for sure. Expect to spend $550 for a nice mooring cover.

Angola hands down. You get what you pay for. I ordered my last one through N3 Boatworks.

Thanks folks for the quick reply!! I've forwarded the info to my friend. I also saw that nautiqueparts.com has covers with sunbrella options from Carver Boat Covers and they seem to have the 1997 pattern as well. It's about $550, so I'm suggesting he look at that as well as Angola (although I didn't see it listed as a pattern they have (although I'm sure they do)).
Thanks again!

Don't waste your time with Angolas website. Call.
The big cover manufacturers also should have options for such a new boat- Carver, Westland, etc. Pricing will be about the same. Fit is ok. For even money, I'd go with a smaller outfit like Angola or Skiboatcovers.
