recommendations for premium boat cover repair? i have a ranger boat cover and it's in need of some adjustment and new straps etc... would like to work with a fabricator to optimize fit relative to holding out the rain and make it quicker to just strap and go on the road as well.

let me know if you have a really good shop to recommend. northern wisconsin prefered but i'm in minnesota half my life too so can work around the metro too.

thanks ...

Unless your cover is in great shape I'd just get ahold of Auroara canvas and buy a new one.

Sled,

I took mine to the local tent and Awning Company ( Oshkosh Tent and Awning) They put on all new straps and buckle patched 2 tears oh and the straps that were replaced were 1" and they put on 1.5" straps all for about $125. I did this 4 years ago and everything is still in good shape.

this one's a ranger cover and in good shape ... so, just needs new straps and a relocation of the kicker motor cover.

remember to cover the bald-spot with a hat and stay thirsty my friend.

I would give Mid State Upholstery And Canvas a call in WI Rapids. See what they can do for you. Excellent work for me. I chose them over everyone in the Appleton area. Great guys, quality work, inexpensive.

I second Gordy at Mid State Canvas/Upholstry. I had them make a Ranger cover for my rig, and it fits like a glove. If you drop it at Sayner Pub(host of our outing) next weekend, one of us can take it back to them. A couple guys are back in your neck every weekend thereafter too and could bring it back.
