Full Cover for 32 Fountain
 

Looking for a Good Condition Full Cover for a 32 fountain. Any out there. Wanting Blue

theres some good one on the net just look around. i bought one for a 35 for 300.00 new, i keep it on it when its in the slip to keep bird and spiders out. its heavy and good quality for the price i will try to find it again.

Thanks Johnnyboatman where do you boat in oklahoma. We were at Grand lake until last year.

Just so you don't think you are getting ripped off by your canvas maker, it would take nearly 50 yards of acrylic to make a cover with skirting for a 32 footer. The shop cost of material alone would be close to $600.

Acrylic is rot resistant, breathes well but leaks a bit.

Canvas (cotton) rots quick but breathes well and shrinks when wet to become very water proof.

Watch out for material that doesn't breathe like vinlys or have vents put in. Try to get a cover that has a rise in the middle to make water run off (a pole in the middle is a pain but...).

You can trailer with the cover on only if was made to do so, these universal covers probably won't be able to.

Just my $.02

Fountainclimber......... I read earlier that you have experience in the upholstery field. What would be your recommendation on the type of fabric to use for a whole boat cover???? Thanks for your $.02 (not for towing, just for outside summer storage) maybe nylon with elastic around the bottom?

Acrylic is the best material to use for life expectancy but it would have to be re treated every 2-3 years. I have seen a few Tyvek covers which seem like a good idea but I don't think they would last long or hold a thread.

The shop that makes it is going to be the real key because it has to lay right without letting water build up to do any good.

Boats left in the water are a real challenge because it is difficult to keep the material tight. Actually Fountains are a little bit easier because the beak holds the front of the cover in place. I would plan on using the heavy duty bungee on a hook to the boats lifting rings but you are going to get your arms wet.

Most shops will want to put snaps in the boat or wont guarantee the results. I would not. If its on a trailer, straps for shock cord about every 3 feet will work fine. Pull tight front to back. The skirting can be as long as you want to cover the sides. A rope is sewn into the bottlom of the skirting to keep it snug.

All I can say is look at their work and see if it takes care of your boat. I can't find a pix of mine but it is red acrylic held on with bungee cords to the trailer with a 1 foot skirting. It is trailerable but I usually take it off.

$.50 worth.

JohnnyBoatman I will be at Texoma memorial day weekend at tanglewood resort lets meet up if possible. My 32 will be docked at Highport marina.

inquiring minds want to know:D I have searched the net with no luck:confused: can not find anything close to $300 for that size. I am looking to find a cheap cover for use in covered storage, thanks.

Here's where I bought mine:

I have been told that their covers are good, but $810 for a 32 is a long way from $300. I am still looking. May just find an old Cig cover and rework it unless I can find a good line on some decent material.

I just bought this one for my 04 29...I chose the Polyguard (most expensive) for lightness and longlasting service. It is called semi-custom but fits like it was made for it, at least as good as the 750.00 one! I paid 334.61 with the tie down kit and shipping...Good luck.

I ordered a generic cover for my 27. I put the cockpit cover on first then full cover it in the slip.
It was around 300. fits very well and wont blow off.
The beak helps, goes past the rub rail. I wouldnt trailer with it. Hope this helps, I did this before and it lasted 5 years. Keeps the sun and bird and leaf crap off. JC

27'-29' is not difficult to find in the 300-400 range but 32'-38' is definitely a different story.

Yeah, I thought about it a while, but then just bit the bullet and I'm glad I did. I have a cover without having too much time invested :D
