Custom Boat Covers?
Submitted by adamlikesfishing on Fri, 2011-05-13 18:33
Wondering where to go for good custom boat covers? Anyone had one made? How much did you pay? Where did you go?
Looking to cover a 5.1m trailcraft cc
Cheers

I've been quoted by Maylands
I've been quoted by Maylands Canvas. I also had a chat to the owner there & he discussed various options (material etc). I have a 5.2 centre console & was quoted a bit over $1k.

I got a really good one
for my Trailcraft 540 Profish from Auto One in the shape of a truck tarp for $196, works a treat cause its big enough to allow me to leave the bimini up.

5.5m
we have a 5.5m boat and have a custom cover on it, we got it from g.k. trimmers in canningvale.
is a good cover, the only thing i would recommend when your getting on is make sure they use rip stop canvas, may cost a touch more but the benefit of rip stop is that the whole material is stitched in small squares,(usually about 3cm x 3cm) so if a rip forms it only tears until the edge of that particular square.
but a definate benefit for your boat, especially if your boat is outside all the time and near any trees that can drop leaves and sap all over your boat.

Mate I had a custom made
Mate I had a custom made cover made to fit my 5.7 Quintrex. Fully toweable and made to suit the baitboard etc, done by Just Covers in Balcatta. Bruce was great to deal with, fully aproachable and also accepted a bargain on the price. I was a happy customer!

Spoke with Just Covers
Spoke with Just Covers earlier in the week. The indicate was very 'rough' - I was quoted approx $1.5k for a custom cover for the 5.2m centre console - the cover is very similar to Alfred's (goes through the t top/over the windscreen) & to the chines.
Is this what I should expect to pay?
Appreciate some feedback (perhaps PM if more comfortable talking $), as I am eager to get a cover done within the next month.

GK trimmers
Got one for a 4.85 trailcraft runnabout, very happy with the cover, tow the bot with it no problems. I did post some pics up some time ago of it and the GK site has pictures of many of there covers.
It cost $1300

Highly recommend GK also
The owner might be a bit "short"with his customers but apart from that the quality of his product is second to none - consumate professional
