My original cover was pretty sad to begin with, and I want to replace it with a state of the art new one.

Buddy of mine just bought a brand new Mastercraft. Only redeeming feature is a super trick boat cover. :grin:

Instead of poles, uses a strap "backbone." Sleeves fit perfect around the tower base, so as to practically eliminate any chance of water/airborne debris getting in.

Has a series of nylon webbing straps to secure cover under the gunwale bumper. Is vented in several key areas using plastic vent scoops that have screens on them to prevent bugs/airborne debris.

Fits well and is easy to put on/take off.

In general, every issue I have had with my cover is addressed. Has anybody got a replacement cover that is really excellent and, more importantly, a GOOD SOURCE for ordering it?? :!: :!:

Thanks in advance.

I dont own these covers, but they seem to be popular amongst ski/wake boaters, and they seem to like them a lot. They are not cheap.

If they dont meet your needs, your best bet is for a custom made boat cover.

I've had good luck with the Hurricane boat covers. I think you can
get them on iboats. Custom fit to our boats, nice cinching system,
raps around the tower poles etc.

Also, do a search on Alan S and boat cover. Alan has a very
nice looking cover on his SAN.

[quote="bkhallpass"]IHow about "Chales"?

That is a Rankin cover, and based on where you live, that makes sense. Where'd you get that bimini? That's another item I've been pondering for a few years.

Yep I have a very nice cover until friday. Boat is sold along with the new cover. My "new" '03 SAN has a full under rail snap cover. Kinda excited to see if I like it as much.
