I just bought a full boat cover for my Donzi 35ZR at boatcoversdirect.com and it fit well. I am just using the cover for storage inside my boathouse so I did not need to go crazy with it but price was right and pleased with fit. It does come with tie downs for trailer but I don't plan on using it for that.

The mirage and the Donzi both had one large hatch to exit onto the deck. Not a chance in hell I'm going to squeeze out one of the tiny deck hatches.




It would look like the boat is giving birth to a full grown man if I tried!


Do not put the anchor in the anchor locker unless you are good at fiberglass repair. I used to just take the rope up there and throw anchor off the side so not to carry anchor across bow. I can't find that email I used to use, just call them and ask fo Sean in customer support. He will get you anything you need.

You should have bought my old boat, already had the steering, congrats on purchase.

You should call Chris at McLeod. He has been very helpful with some stuff for me. They did the interiors for your boat I believe. They have all the patterns. I am contemplating having them do mine.

Congratulations on a very nice 292. I love the paint scheme.

I ordered my full cover from boatcoversdirect.com. Its not a custom cover by any means but it fits pretty well. I use it in the driveway over the cockpit cover to protect from sun and dirt. The mistake I made was ordering in red. The cover faded after 2 years but otherwise is holding up well for a $300 cover. If I had it to do over I'd order in gray.

Thanks for all the info....

I'm looking for a long sided, almost to the trailer, cover as it does sit outside and I would like to keep it looking this good forever. I havent been able to find any companies that make a cover with extended sides. I will try
3pointstar's recommendation on the MI independent shop.

Thanks again

Its going to be a long winter!!!!

Never going to find a cover w/ sides that go below the rubrail via mail order. U will definaltely have to go to an apolstery shop and have one made $$$. If it's gonna sit outside, you may consider having one made w/ snap on or zip on curtains that hang down to or near the trailer when its not in the water. That way if you ever leave it in the water overnight you can have a cover that doesn't hang into the water. You also would probably want one that has the poles in the correct spot and tight fitting so the cover won't hold water or lay on the sundeck and leak through.

It came with a nice waterproof cockpit cover. I have always double covered my boats. I spend too much time cleaning them to let it get dirty just sitting.
