Allstate,

      How much do you want to spend? Where are you located? I'm in west central IN and just had a custom cover made for my deep-vee last fall by a local shop. They do awsome work and stand behind their product. I'm very happy with mine. Looks sharp too. Let me know if you want more info.

Dawg, I'm in southern Iowa, just about 100 miles from any where.I found a man that makes covers out of truck cover. My old one lasted 6 years. In the sun all the time in summer. I can't complain. It doesn't leak yet. But It's time for a new one.Thanks for your reply. Doug

I would recommend Plahn Canvas Products in Janesville. Ask for Dave @ 608-754-7011. I have had several boat tarps from them, and they have always been of exceptional quality.

Regards,
Scott

Your going to be looking at 250 min for a good custom cover. I have been quoted up to 400 for one. The places that can make one are listed in the phone book. Being in iowa, you might even want to look into having one made by the amish. My dad has one for his crestliner, top quality.
