I know that there are several companies that make boat covers, but it is harder to find makers of console covers. The boat cam with a black bimini top. Any suggestions for good values in covers would be welcome. Thanks fishician Edited by Joe Kriz on 07/02/12 - 10:11 AM

A dealer I've used with no problems is discountboatcover.com (no "s" after cover) in, I believe, South Carolina. The cover I bought for my 190 Montauk was drop shipped from Carver and I had it in about four days. I buy the semi-custom covers. I don't know if they sell a console cover but they are so inexpensive a locally fabricated one could be used. Butch

I just got ripped off for $240 for a Taylor Made Hot Shot boat cover that was an extremely sloppy fit with thin material, incorrectly sewed in tie-down strap buckles and cheap budgie draw cord. The cover is probably worth $49-$69. Definitely not the $240 iboats hosed me for.

It's 18' long by 8' 10" wide with padding for the console and seat backs and rubrail clips - it's in very good condition but is too short for our boat. Here's a couple of pix. http://i1133.photobucket.com/albums/m...G_0912.jpg http://i1133.photobucket.com/albums/m...G_0913.jpg http://i1133.photobucket.com/albums/m...G_0914.jpg http://i1133.photobucket.com/albums/m...G_0917.jpg Edited by tothemax on 07/10/12 - 11:27 AM 2005 Dauntless 220

Take some basic measurements and visit some of the big box retailers. While they are not "Mills" quality, they can be practical.

I ditched the included straps and bought some bungies from Perfect Bungie. Perfect Bungies have a plastic sleeve that prevents any scratches on the hull. No metal "S" hooks to tear things up. I also installed some attachment points on the trailer (there I go, needing to update my profile again).
