Canvas Tarp

Your going to have problems finding something for that cheap, the materials alone are going to cost more than that. You will be best off picking up the fabric yourself and sewing one. That will be your cheapest bet.

Try the Harris Warehouse in Minneapolis. I think they specialize in canvas. I'm not sure of prices but they may have wider chunks than six feet.......T

Seebass call around to a couple of flat bed trucking companies. They or their drivers are getting rid of ripped/old tarps. Off the top of my mind try Chicago Tube and Iron,in Eagan.

beware of some canvas/material, I bought some white canvas at 6' wide and had it sewn together, got it all put on the house and took it out for its first time, it was a tad breezy that day and the wind went right threw it, very cold! my fix was i took some white latex paint and thinned it down then rolled it on the canvas in the shop and let it dry, next day problem solved. it was only a bit stiffer and that got better with use.

    • Yeah it was a beatdown
    • Your kid needs to stay with him!👍
    • My kid was eating in Beverly Hills and ran into this guy. Talked to him a bit and wished him luck in the game tonight.     
    • 🤔as a recovering machinist!🤣🤣that must make me a recovering welder!
    • As a recovering machinist, I can appreciate that.  If the spec is 0.001 - 0.0015, then clearly the correct measurement is 0.00125, duh…
    • I just figured that it is easy enough to just get a 3 bank so when the boat is not in use I can keep all 3 batteries charged. I have not bough a charger yet, maybe I will give it some more thought. Edit: After thinking this over, with the size, weight, and heat output of the charger (as well as the cost) I think it makes sense to just buy a 2 bank charger, I have a smaller charger i can use on the starting battery when the boat is sitting at home. Forgive me, for i am a retired engineer and I have to obsess over everything...
    • Congrats on the motor!  I think you’ll like it.   I can’t say much on the charger location but I’ve seen them under the lid in back compartments and under center rod lockers.  160 degrees is more than I expected to hear.   Curious why you’re opting for a 3 bank charger with a 24V trolling motor.  Unless you don’t feel you be running you big motor enough to keep that battery up as well?
    • I did buy an Minnkota Ulterra, thanks for the recommendations. I had a bunch of Cabela"s bucks saved up, which helped. Now i need to get an onboard battery charger. Where do you guys mount these things in your boat? The manufacturer I am looking at {Noco genius) says tht their 3-bank charger will run at 160 degrees, seems like a lot of heat in an enclosed compartment? Thanks for any input on this.
    • You're very lucky a troop of Sea Monkey's didn't carry you away.   
    • Wasn't terrible at a state park beach. Antelope island maybe.  I wouldn't recommend it as a beach destination tho.  Figured I was there, I'm getting in it.
