Can someone suggest where to get covers for my 1988 Montauk 17 Center Console and pilot seat?

Take a look at a couple of our sponsors.

Mills Canvas is one of the original suppliers.

I'm also looking for a winter cover. Mills quoted $1000 plus shipping which is out of my budget. Can anyone recommend and other vendors for a full cover/

I have a Carver mooring cover and bimini on my Montauk. They are a good, affordable product. No complaints.

They have a list of on-line retailers here:

I've used Boat Covers Direct and iBoats before.

Sunbrella is the gold standard.

I replaced my old Carver cover with a new one last year. The old cover was Sunbrella by Raven Mills. The replacement also uses a cover with a fabric by Raven Mills which is somewhat lighter and more water resistant. It is recommended for warmer more humid areas like the Gulf Coast where I reside. The Carver web site discusses the material.

So far I like it better than Sunbrella. It is lighter and thus easier to handle. I also find far less mold on my deck after having the cover in place for several weeks. The lighter weight is useful on my 190 Montauk when removing it by my old self. The boat sits very high on it's trailer so the cover must be removed from the aft cocpit rolling it forward.

My Sport 13 continues to enjoy good service from it's Carver Sunbrella cover. Weight is not a factor with the 13 and the cover is easily removed while standing outside the boat.

I like both materials but am leaning toward the new stuff.

I'm waiting for more information from Quality Marine Supply (an approved vendor on the Carver site). They actually asked for photos of my boat and are contacting Carver to verify the cover will be an exact fit.
Is the other fabric called Sundura?
