That would be nice If I can ensure the fit. I called a couple places and emailed one place on line, all scatched their heads on weather their cover would fit. Most boats like mine do not have the swim platform or dual bimini's. A custom cover I have a feeling is not going to be cheap.

I have a custom cover that's several years old. It wasn't cheap back then.  :eek

Don't care what they say, covers are for storage, not towing... :beat, unless you put on a custom snapper over the cockpit area... :good

Boatcovers.com seems to be pretty good, other than what they call JetBoats :beat are all you goofy oversized seadoos :laugh  :D

Looks like a low profile skiboat is my best match. I'm just having trouble deciding on getting it to long or to wide :banghead

Another thread makes a hard turn. Go with the custom. Pain in the butt to deal with one that doesn't fit.

Ok, I'm out of the cold shower, what's new here. At first I thought Cali had no idea what she was saying. Read above. Warning to you all, she's a smart one. Be careful what you say.

I need a boat cover too but there so damn expensive that I was thinking of buying on here http://stores.ebay.com/Elite-Boating_W0QQ_trksidZp1638Q2em118Q2el1247

My covers get trashed anyway with all the heat, sun, rain etc..  That its kinda hard buying one at top dollar for the amount of abuse it takes.

Just my .02

I did a serch on the link CE put up. They have 3 grades for my boat. 2 have the same warrentee and about $300 in differnc in price. I thinking the cheeper of the 2 for the same reasons LASINC brought up. My boat is always outside in the eliments so covers are not going to last. Even though the one I have is 8 years old now but tore bigtime last Augest and now has several.

I bought one at K-Mart for $45, works great for keeping the dirt off in the shop or the sun, but if you want a towing cover you gotta get it custom made/fit to the boat or it won't be worth a $hit, and be prepared to put out the $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$!.. :eek

I've never towed with a cover either, mainly because I could never afford a $2500 towing cover!.. :D  :laugh

Yesterday when I was leaving Inland Boats they were stocking a couple hundred new covers. For what they called a low profile 21 ft ski, they wanted $427 + tax. Guessing it had to be pretty thin material as the box was about a quarter of the size as mine.
