Default WHere can I get a full cover for a 86 scarab panther?

I see some listings on ebay, but not sure if they are complete crap generic covers or not. I'm about to get the boat detailed and would like to get a full cover for the boat.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.,

Better off to have one custom made! It will be tough to find a good fitting generic cover off eBay. Do you have any upholstery or canvas makers in the area?

I stumbled upon National Biat Covers while searching for a cover, they state the covers are semi-custom. I ordered one and was thoroughly impressed. I also suggested them to my friend who just picked up a 380 Powerquest from Double R. He ordered it and was impressed by the fit and finish....and I quote him, "It fits like a custom cover at half the cost."

Here's a link for you:

I bought mine from Iboats 7-8? years ago. I have the Supreme Aqua Shield in red. One of the best purchases I have ever made for my Panther.

Thanks for the replies! I'm just going through the restore process on the badly oxidized black gel coat. Spent 2 days on one side, but its looking damn good for 1986 gel coat, Slowly removing all the f'n sap from the last few years on the boat too, the acetone is a life saver though. After all the money and work im dumping into it this year I want it to be staying nice.

This is mine that I shared the link to. It needs a washing and I never treated it with UV protection, next one I will. Besides fading it is still in great shape. No rips or tears. Also the Aqua Shield does not shrink like other full covers or even my cockpit cover.
