Non custom boat cover

Does anyone have a non custom boat cover that they would recommend? I'd like to get a custom one, but would run about $500 locally (Pgh area), probably a good bit less if I trailered to the highly reccomended folks up North. I'm not even sure how much longer I am going to keep this boat, so don't know if $500 is that good of an investment if I sell in 2 years.

I had one from (the sensored) sporting goods store, that lasted 2 years, then pretty much tore apart. I'm guessing that I could have doubled the life, if I tarped over it during the Winter and took it off while trailering.

Anyone happen to know how much the folks up North would do a 17' side console, not sure of width, guessing around 6'? Would it really be 1/2 of the Pgh folks?

Its been awhile since Emanuel has done a cover for me. He'll be cheaper than that though and you'll get twice the quality. If you sell your boat you should be able to get the investment back.

I need to run up to Conneautville myself one of these days. After 2 years I'm finally satisfied that I'm done rigging the boat with new rod holders downriggers etc. Now I'll have him make a custom cover to fit over and around everything. From past experience I can tell you you're wasting your time & money looking anywhere else. He is almost half especially if you don't want it really customized to fit your holders etc. and just want to cover the boat. Remember too a loose fitting non-custom flaps in the wind which is the death of a trailering cover. A good fitting cover stays put & lasts way longer. 2 years with a non-custom and you probably won't get anything back when you sell it.

sorry. its emptied. just sayin'

There's another Amish guy just outside of Albion doing the same work.... Even cheaper!
