Boat cover for Custom Whaler 15' "sport"

I have a 1987 Boston Whaler 15' Sport, or so that is what I was told. It looks to have the same configuration of the sport from the photographs that I have seen, with the exception of the windshield. I do not have the stencil number since the boat was refinished and that number is not located in any of the areas that ID charts say they should be located. So, we just had the fiberglass redone and new paint, inside and out. I built Mahogany seats based on the original specifications with slight modifications such as a foldable stern seat backrest. Now that the boat has been restored, I'd like to purchase a cover for it that will fit with the windshield. All of the boat covers that I have seen do not include room for the windshield. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance for your help. Jeffrey jbilderback attached the following image: [131.36Kb]

I remove my windshield and grabrail to store in my garage and when trailering distance to improve aerodynamics and avoid damage. 1992 Outrage 17 I 2019 E-TEC 90, Viper 17 2+ 2018 Load Rite Elite 18280096VT

We had a bunch of holes in it where speakers and a stereo were previously installed, but had that all patched and refinished. I'm sure that was done later based on the poor craftsmanship of the holes. Maybe it was an aftermarket windshield? I know my wife wants to keep it (if you can't tell, it's her boat and she wanted it painted pink), but I'll probably just do what was previously suggested and remove the windshield when I cover it.
