Where exactly in Northwest Indiana?

I'm "assuming" you fish the Webster Lake area from time to time?

I had my boat's current custom snap cover made there in North Webster at that custom canvas shop there on SR-13...on the East side of the road. Wasn't cheap. No custom covers are cheap. But well worth the money! You get what you pay for. My cover is now 6 years old and still going strong. Though my boat, when not on a fishing trip and when not in the water, is stored indoors 100% of the time, over the years, my boat, with this specific custom cover on it, has unfortunately been caught in some unfortunate weather in the late Fall/early Winter periods, where it's sustained some substantial snow accumulation on top of it (ie, lots of weight on the cover) and it never faltered. I travel up and down the highways consistently with my boat covered and it's a great trailering cover.

Once this cover lives it's lifespan, I won't even think twice about going back to the same shop again for a new one. They know their stuff, have great quality materials and craftsmanship and they're fast. You'd have to leave your boat with them for a period of time however. I think I left the Webster Lake area one weekend, left my boat with them, the cover and boat was ready to be picked up again that following weekend when we came back up to the lake.[/QUOTE]
