shinde Posted January 1, 2005 Share Posted January 1, 2005 Anyone know of a place in Central/Western MN that can put together an after market boat cover that snaps on the boat?

0 Giant_Jackpot Posted January 4, 2005 Share Posted January 4, 2005 I used Canvas Plus in Rogers. Top quality and it looks great. I would suggest waiting for the boat or sportsman shows. I got a 10% discount at the show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Tripleplay Posted January 4, 2005 Share Posted January 4, 2005 Shinde,A number of years ago I had a snap cover put on my Predator by a company in West Fargo (sorry I'm forgetting the companies name).Just a couple of words of caution! Mine shrunk a ton after getting wet then sun, etc. and slowly but surely the snaps started to pop and not be able to reach the bottom part of the snap. Ended up ripping the cover up and going in the garbage. I'd also recommend at least three boards as supports--mine only had two and I think the third would have provided a little more slack for the shrinkage issue.Also had to always take the front seat out which was more a pain than an issue.I loved the snap cover until the snaps started to go and my boss had a similar cover from the same West Fargo company on his Crestliner and had no issues so I wouldn't go against this but just want to help if I can.Irv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Steve Bakken Posted January 5, 2005 Share Posted January 5, 2005 Alot of it has to do with the quality of the canvas each particular shop uses. Our personal boat that we have up north has one of these types of covers on it and it sits out in the weather year around. We've had this cover going on ten years now and it's still as strong as the day we installed it. Also, we put in four bows under the canvas which really helps the water shed off. Just ask around with the different companies about the type of canvas that they use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
