Most Top Guns have the little twisty thingy's around the cockpit.... is it safe to assume that these are located in the same place in similar model years?
So if I were to buy a cockpit cover and bought a used one of the same year - can I expect it to fit and those thingy's are in the same spot?
Thanks!

I've bought a few over the years. The template for the material is the same....but the turnbuckles aren't all going to line up in most cases.
I was able to use all of the ones that I bought for indoor storage or as a temp
For what it's worth, you can make a used cover work....but I would say (based on experience) that you would be better off getting a cover made for your boat...

Thanks for the reply. I actually had a new one made and was going to sell my old one. I was just wondering if that was an issue someone with a like year cigarette would face. I see them sell every now and then, so I assume there is 'some' interest in used covers... thanks!
I love your avatar btw.... that's one my favorite movies!

Thanks for the compliment! It is his old boat, I bought it from him back in the fall of 07 and did some freshening up.
