I am going to receive a 18-ft center console that has a T-top, and I

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.

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


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.

$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.
