Can anyone recommend a source for a boat cover here in Canada? I am trying to find a cover for my 1977 Sport 15 that has been redone with a Striper style interior. I have done searches on the forum and found various recommendations but there are all out of the US and the shipping plus exchange rate make the price a little much. I was hoping there might be a Canadian dealer I have not seen yet.

Carver Covers, a "Whaler Central" advertiser makes very nice covers. I suggest you check their web site and see what their fitted Sunbrella cover would cost including shipping. Then apply any customs fees for your total. You can also check to see if they have a seller in Canada.
If your search for a Canadian source fails your options are to import a cover or have a custom cover sewn locally. If that's the case I would opt for the Carver option.

I have looked at their site but I am not clear which cover would work on my boat, but more importantly the sunbrella option that I think would fit would be about $900 after the exchange rate, but not including shipping or any duty.
I was hoping that there might be a Canadian option.

A friend of mine who slips his boat was looking to replace his T-Top weather enclosure that was OEM.
He walked the slips of the marina and asked owners who had canvas on older boats for the name of the vendor. Received two good local sources.
There is always the local/regional boat show in the fall/winter/spring.
