Custom boat and cockpit covers in MI?
 
So who has a good reference for boat/cockpit covers in MI. I am in Lansing so I can go east or west very easily. Not looking for a back yard hack!

Grand traverse canvas does amazing work. The owner is also a powerboater and member on this site!

I think they did the cover for my profile now that I think about it. I would have to plan a boat trip up to torch and leave my boat there for a week or so but definitely doable

This isn't a back yard hack -- however it is in his backyard

I have had a number of GREAT custom made covers from
Sun and Shade Awning
Bidelmen Road
Three Rivers, MI
(269) 244-5307
The guy to speak with is Mark Bidelman-- great guy and his work in my experience has been phenomenal- price is very reasonable.

This shop in MI made me the best cover we have had...#3. Works well in storage or towing.

If you speak with Mark Bidelman -- you can tell him that George with the Cobalt recommended him. He's almost one of my neighbors!!

(He's ugly but he does a nice job on covers!)-- you can tell him I said that!

I, too, have had nothing but good experience with GT Canvas. Same for my sister-in-law when she boated up there.

Didn't know he was a member of OSO, though. All the more reason to spend money there!
