 I have a 2008 2575 RLIO the cover is getting pretty ragid. What are people paying for a New Boat cover?  And where are you guys getting them?


Thanks 
 
Here is a link to my post when I got my cover last year.


New cover


I am very happy with it.

I did mine (pics in gallery) the total cost was around $1500 but it is a tralierable cover that enshrouds the entire fence area. I used a local tent and awning shop.
 
I got mine for the 2008 from the original manufacturer for Bennington.  It was around $600 and the color was perfect and the fit was great. I missed up on some of the snaps and just left the wrong snaps in place and added snaps in the right location.  It's now has a secret protocol for installation.    I bought the good tool for installing the snaps on the cover that were included with the cover.  PM me if you want to borrow the snap installation tool. 
 
Tumacs make Bennington covers, they are based in Pa. But have Locations in Indiana and Michigan. Their work and materials are top notch.
 
Had mine made by a local boat shop. Was $2000. Covers the whole boat to under the rail all the way around front to back, also covers the motor as well. I haven't pushed it much above 80mph but it has quite a few trips on it now and no issues. Best money I spent to trailer my boat and keep it clean! Pm me if you want pics.

I had one made by a local shop 5 years ago and it cost $1,500.
 
MrG......


Just contact your local canvas company for a custom made cover. Our local guy uses Sunbrella fabric and it took him less than a full day to fabricate and sew the cover onsite and install the snaps. 5 support poles were included. Total cost was $1050....
