Where To Find Boat Cover For a Boat That Has a T-Top?
I am going to receive a 18-ft center console that has a T-top, and I
need to put a boat cover over it. But I have a hard time finding any
boat cover that can cover the T-top. All I can find are for boats that
don't have T-top. Can any one suggest a source where I can get a boat
cover for a boat that has a T-top?Thanks. Jay Chan |

| $500 sounds very reasonable. It is at least a boat buck ($100) for a good,
standard no frills boat cover for a 20' boat from wallywold. A Taylor
cover. It cost me $750 for a snap on trailering cover for my 21' forward
console boat. Made of Topgun fabric. Sunbrellas equivalent would have been
the same price. <jaykchan@hotmail.com> wrote in message |

| Ouch! Be prepared to pay 'plenty'.
Local business, which has a big navy contract, wanted $ 1500.00 for a
custom fitted cover for a modest 19' sailboat. I bought a canvas tarp
on sale ($80.00) at an automotive type store instead. |

| I found a mail order source of a full boat cover for around $500 for
boats that have T-top. I thought that was expensive. Seem like
custom-made it is even more expensive. I guess I just have to spend that $500 for a nice boat cover. I don't
want to put a blue tarp over my boat that will be parked near the
property line where my neighbor will have a full view of my boat. I
need something nicer. Thanks. Jay Chan |

| This is something that I don't know about. I thought we need to cover
the entire upper part of the boat to protect the horizontal surface
from water/snow/UV/dust damage. If we only covered the T-top, the
console, and the seats, I thought the boat deck would be exposed to the
elements, right? Am I missing something? Do you mean we can use wax
to protect other part of the boat just like how we take care of our
cars? If this is true, this will be a very good news to me. Jay Chan |

| If it's an open boat, then there really isn't a reason to cover the
whole boat - just where the electronics and controls are located. As long as you keep the boat tilted properly so what water drains, you
shouldn't have any problems at all. |

| This is a Great news! The boat cover that can cover the entire boat is
too big and overpoweing for my taste anyway. Now, I can start looking around for covers for the T-top, the console,
and the seat. Jay Chan |

| You're probably going to have to go to a custom canvas shop. |

| You are going to have to have one custom made - that's that I had to
do with my Ranger. You can also do a partial cover or just cover the
console. On my Contender, I have full canvas so it's not an issue. On an open boat, it's not really a problem as long as the console is
covered which is an option that I used on my previous Contender. Hell
of a lot cheaper than a full cover too. |

| You can have a nice cover made with a cutout that fits snug against the
posts of the tee-top and covers the console, too. No need to cover the
entire tee-top. |
