Full Covers???
 

Unfortunately, I keep my boat outside most of the time. I have the factory bow and cockpit covers, but I find them a little useless at covering the "other" parts of the boat. Has anyone purchased an aftermarket FULL cover for our boats? Any input on any brands? Also... when running a full cover, do you keep the cockpit cover in place and then cover that? I've always been told not to double bag LOL:coolcowboy:

just picked this up for 350 shipped minus 5% off its in the mail. My boat is older so its semi custom, they can make yours probably custom for a few bucks more. I would use a full cover and yes double bag it. Thing with covers is for one they fit somewhat good and are waterproof. I dont want mine to look like ****e and want to be quality but dont see the need to spend a boat load on one either, dont matter how good the material or who made it if the boats sits outside all the time the cover will wear out

Had a semi-custom one from these guys back in 2005. Cost was about 450. for 42'. Lightweight/Waterproof and I did leave the factory cockpit cover on also with no issues.

That blue cover looks like it will fit my 47. I'm having a hard time finding a cover for a 47 Lightning, Everyone tells me to get the pattern for Fountain and they could make it. But I have not had good luck with buying parts for Fountain (no call backs or return e-mails) Where did that blue one come from?

I posted the link in my post. Just ck'd for you and don't see 47' available at the on-line purchase list. Maybe call them and see if they can make one.

Everytime Ive called or emailed fountain theyve been horrible. Lucky I like their boats. But the cover I listed about is a Carver Cover as well. So its the supreme fabric with 5 year warranty

I had a custom mooring cover made for my 27'. No snaps at all, just a line all the way around the cover, under the rub rail, cinch it up in the back with a ratcheting hook. Had it since 2003, works great. I even leave it on in the water, and tow with it if needed.

I have a full cover for a 35' lighting available, covers above the rub rail.

Go all the way down the sides. If you are going to protect the top, protect the sides.
I never used the cockpit cover with my full cover. I do have pillow cases that I made shorter that slip over the headrests and a comforter that covers the engine hatch so the coarser cover material doesn't rub on the interior.

the covers from fountain actually are not expensive. at least they use to be priced right its been about 7 years since i checked
