Bayfisher34 Posted April 18, 2018 Report Share Posted April 18, 2018 Does $1100-1300 sound like a decent price for a custom fit measured good quality boat cover for my 18ft flats boat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heweymagoos Posted April 18, 2018 Report Share Posted April 18, 2018 Go on carver boat covers. 600 bucks for sunbrella. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tails Up Posted April 18, 2018 Report Share Posted April 18, 2018 Carver is not Sunbrella material and the warranty is terrible. $1100 to $1300 is about right dependinging on how low to the gunnels it is cut. Also recommend you go with the thread that Sunbrella recommends. Aside from a restitch, I got 15 years out of my last Sunbrella cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JEM Posted April 19, 2018 Report Share Posted April 19, 2018 They sure advertise Sunbrella as a fabric option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
conocean Posted April 19, 2018 Report Share Posted April 19, 2018 What JEM said. And I doubt any custom cover manufacturer is going to offer a warranty much different than Carver. I bought a Sun-Dura Carver from boat covers direct and it works great. I had a custom Sunbrella cover for my 17MA but would never spend $1,000+ on the same cover for my 18HPX after owning my Carver cover. It may not last 15 years but I've never seen any cover that lasts longer than 7 years here in south FL unless the boat is stored out of the sun.

Coto Posted April 19, 2018 Report Share Posted April 19, 2018 I got a Carver Sun-dura for my 21 Redfisher for $489 w/free shipping from Cover World. I am very happy with the quality and it is rated for seven years. Like Paul said don't care what top of the line boat cover you get the Florida sun will shorten its life span. I would never pay $1000 for a boat cover. Don't know if you got the space or if it's allowed in your city. But I have kept all my boats under a cover and under a King Canopy to protect it from the sun. Mine is on the side of the house if yours is in a boat yard I would say to invest in the best cover you can but within a reasonable price and I just don't see how $1000-1300 is reasonable.

Bamaskeet Posted April 19, 2018 Report Share Posted April 19, 2018 You might also want to check boatcoversdirect. They make a descent cover for a reasonable price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
