Boat cover
Submitted by fords_rule85 on Tue, 2010-04-13 22:52
Hey guys, i have just picked up my new boat and need a cover for it as it will be stored outside not in a shed. The boat is a trailcraft freestyle 4.75m runabout and i would like a cover that i could travel with it on if required, eg going up north. If anyone knows of any good places to get something like this please let me know, SOR would be easier but anywhere in Perth is ok. Thanx

mandurah canvas
Mandurah canvas done a nice boat cover for my old mans 4.5m cc, good quality but i can't remember how much he paid, but hes normally a tightass and i remembering him doing a fair bit of ringing around before he went ahead..

good luck, some pics and prices once you have had it done will help out others looking into the same thing :)

boat cover
Had one made by GK tirmmers a few weeks ago, just got back from a trip to Walpole (report comming soon) and it towed fine and I think its great. there is a picture of my cover on the gk website (blue trailcraft 4.85 freestyle).
Cover not cheap at $1300 but compared to all the other quotes I got it was well in the ballpark. (Quotes from 1000-2500)
If you want anymore info just Pm me
regards Brad
I would rather be fishing

What's your timeframe
What's your timeframe mate?
My brother is moving over here next month and has been in the industry for ten years. Done plenty of boat covers in that time. Could probably get a rough quote now if you wanted to compare with the other guys, would probably just need to wait two months for him to get here and then get his gear unpacked and fix it up.
Quality job guaranteed though.

Boat Cover
G'day Mate, Can do you a custom made cover for around the $900 mark depending on the amount of the boat you want covered and the amount of cut outs or reo required.
I have been sewing for 15 years and cover all aspects of canvas work.
I am moving to Perth (SOR) on the 9th of May. unfortunately I wont be set up for about a month and a half after this.
If this is in your time frame get in touch.
Cheers.
