Where to buy bass boat cover

Where to buy bass boat cover - 04/11/16 03:34 AM

I'm about to buy a boat and it doesn't come with a cover. I will have to keep the boat outside, under a car port, and will need a cover. I would like for it to be a cover that I can travel with, but if that is too expensive I'll just stick with a stationary cover. Where is a good place to buy covers?

You get what you pay for, I got one from Nolan's. He comes to your house and makes a custom one just for your boat. Yes it cost some, but well worth the money to protect your investment.

Check out Empire covers. I got one from them very nice and waterproof!

How much did you pay at Nolan's and Empire? Looks like Empire doesn't have one for a 98 Pantera II.

I bought one here:

https://www.boatcoversdirect.com/products/boat_covers/?gclid=CJHq2tr4hswCFZSCaQodip0P_Q

7 year replacement warranty, about $250.
It's worked well.

Try iboats.com. Bought one from them and it out lived the warranty by a couple of years.

If you plan to travel with the cover on your boat, be prepared to spend some money. It will likely require a custom made cover to fit your boat and trolling motor combination. Also make sure you purchase a cover that is lined so you don't scratch the gel coat and wear the tops of your seats.

I paid $279 free shipping from Empire and you can travel with it on the boat. It is felt lined very nice cover well made. I store my boat outside and it's nice having a waterproof cover!!

Yeah, this ^^^^^. I bought a custom travel cover from Deans for my ChampN : http://www.deanstop.com/

Another good custom maker is Aurora : http://www.auroracanvas.com/

Both of these companies will most likely knock the bottom out of a $1K/bill

Don't know if you can consider these 2 as "values" but they are quality!

My Skeeter came with a custom cover (of course I paid for it) made specifically for my boat. If your boat is a Skeeter, Ranger or other popular brand, I'll bet you can order directly through a dealer.

Call and ask Tommy or John if they can order one and how much. They may also know someone who makes them for Cats.
