I bought a cover from Overtons waaay back in 2000 but I finally need to replace it so looking for suggestions. It fit perfect over rails and held up great but a rod holder tore through over the winter so I fear the end is near. The boat is mostly stored indoors so this was only the 3rd winter outdoors and I always cover when I travel so I can’t say enough about how well this one held up.

I say all this because I went on Overtons today to buy a new one but not sure if the still sell it or if so which one. I found one they claim is made to fit my boat but the photo is completely wrong so I’m sceptical. Suggestions?

I own a Mills Bimini and console cover so I understand the quality nut I don’t like how their mooring cover doesn’t cover the rails... and I’m cheap.

Here’s he one on Overtons https://www.overtons.com/product/deta...p;i=303059

If you still have the shipping manifest then the part number should be on it and just re-order that part number, call to verify the number is still good for your cover.

I’m actually pretty good about keeping records but after 18 years I didn't even bother looking since model numbers / names change. Should have bought 2 😀

Carver has good reviews by Whaler owners for their custom and semi custom covers.

I’m looking at the one below and if nothing jumps out at me this is probably the way I go. I lost my parking spot in the garage so for me a good cover is a must.
