Boat Cover

[Rodman]

I live on the Northside of Brissy.
Does anyone know of who will make me a boat cover for travelling at a reasonable price?
It is for a 4.75m side consol

if your boat is the one on your avatar you should be able to buy a generic one and it should fit quiet nicely. I'm on my second one now, first was ~$150 job off ebay but it perished after maybe 14mths. Bear in mind boat was parked in hot Central QLD sun for 100% of the time.
The cover I am on now is also an ebay job but I spent about $300 on it. Sorry I cant remember the brand of it but I believe the fabric on this one is 600D which is a tough UV resistant canvas. I found a link to it here

It has straps that go both over & under the boat and should all be tigtened up realy well before you trailer it.

The only problem I found with these generic ones is that any ammount of loosness will cause a crazy flapping action once you get on the highway. Multiply this by a few hours of driving and you could find some thin spots where it had been rubbing.
Another hint that I can suggest: my cover came with a carry bag made from the same canvas material. I cut this up and stitched it on at certian points where parts on the boat are pointy i.e bow roller, rope bollards at stern etc. I even made some little bootys that I put over the stern bollards before throwing the cover on so I can tighten the cover with no worries at all.

Sunset canvas in Toowoomba make a nice product as does Glenval Canvas.
