| Hi everyone I live near Oaklawn Il. and would like to get a good boat cover for my 2009 smoker craft 16.9 tiller the only place around my house is little Joes canvas. I stopped by his shop today and he told me he can no longer make boat covers because he is 86 years old and just can't do it any more he is not feeling well and that he is going out of business. I wouldn't mine driving 50 miles or so to a shop that can make one for me. So if anybody knows of a canvas shop that makes covers please let me know.
Thank you |

My neighbor just had them do a cover for his pontoon. Really nice work and the material is first quality. |

Location: oswego, il | Riggs Brothers has several locations and I used the one in Naperville. They do great work and do a lot of convertible tops for classic cars as well. I took my little boat to water werks when they were in Warrensville one time and Walt Mattan seen the cover and who made it and said the cover was worth more than the boat! |
