That boat has the standard bravos, correct? If you up the power you might want to at least invest in some bravo x drives

Any good place can make the front snap on cover for you. just get the one way snaps for across the front.

Last I spoke with him, he still had it. A dealer from texas was trying to sell it for him.

The drives will handle what I plan. Im not looking to go big power,but I have access to a pair of XR's with Imco internals.

I've heard about the one way snaps but it seems the canvas shop here has not.

Gary,

Ken does still have his boat at his house. Eliminator of texas has it listed for him.

I would think it could be done. You would probably want to install it like the cockpit covers with the "one way snaps" that only go on and off from one direction, and have them all set directionally resistant to come off from the forward direction. Use lots of snaps. And, you might try to rig it up like a soft tonneau cover of your pickup bed with a couple of ribs to it. Have the ribs fit into Velcro casings made into the cover to reduce flapping.

The Support Bars/Ribs is a great idea. Im hoping to find someplace with the one way snaps. I dont have a problem adding alot of them as needed. It would be great if I could leave the bow cover on for 90+mph blast.

A friend of mine had an '04 or so 26 Eliminator, and his cockpit cover had the "one way snaps" on it. You might check with Eliminator.

Sunsation runs 2 aluminum support poles from the front of the bow to the back of the bow to support their bow covers on their mid-opens. This would give the cover plenty of tension to keep it from flapping at speed. The poles fit into anodized fittings and bow up slightly to give tension to the cover. I'll see if I can find a pic.
