ISO a boat cover to keep on the boat while on the lift. I have the bow rail that is as tall as a sky scraper. If you have the same setup please share a pic and boat cover suggestion. Mine is a 1971 Sport. https://imgur.com/XPtpnpf

I can't speak to your specific need but our classic 1981 Sport 13 without a bow rail has a very nicely fitting Carver Sunbrella cover.

Carver has a variety of fitted covers for Whalers. I recommend you look through their selections. The url is www.carvercovers.com/

I have a 1972 Sourpuss with a mooring cover that has cutouts for the bow rail that you have

For sale or one that you bought? If the latter, where did you get it from and how does it fit?

It's a Mills cover and it came with the boat. The boat doesn't have the bow rail but the cover has the small cutouts for the bow rail. I was thinking about selling the sourpuss interior with steering wheel and cable,denim seat covers, gray ritchie compass, Depthfinder and wrap around seat rails and Mills cover.

Let me know if you are going to sell your cover.

Well I purchased one from Blue Gator awhile ago and finally got it installed on the boat. I was surprised how the range of prices were for the same cover. I had to make an Excel spreadsheet with prices, tie down straps included or not and shipping costs for all the different websites that carried it. Fits very well and that is with the 14” bow rail in the front. I used fiberglass cover support bows in bow and in the middle behind The steering wheel. I was going to put two on the smaller rail except the plastic rail clamp flew off into the water when I was test fitting. I also had to remove the rear clear light as it was sticking up pretty high.

Hello! I hope you’re all well. I’m trying to cut my own cover Support bows Out of wood. Any thoughts on proper length? I have a 1967, 13 foot sport?
