Somewhere to get a full cover made in WI?
 

I've spoke with many places about getting a full cover made, but I don't feel like taking my boat 500+ miles. Anyone know of any place in the Wisconsin or Illinois area? Thanks.

Thanks guys

I've used Ace Canvas before, I wouldn't exactly call them the top shelf on their quality. There's the Boat Tailor's ( I think that's what they are called ) along the frontage road of I-94 southbound I think between Racine and Kenosha. You can see it from the highway on the west side. They're supposed to be good, but pricecy, isn't that how it always goes. Might be able to get it in their building to work on it . I know they do alot of work on boats at Mckinley and the yacht club. You also might want to call Harkin Sails in Pewaukee, they have a department that does covers and just put up a huge building across I-94 from Skipper Buds. I'm sure they could get you inside for a fitting. People I know are happy with there work and there pricing wasn't bad when I called about a previous boat. 39' OL, sounds nice, haven't seen it down at the lake, you just get it?

Kendor's Canvas shop in Franklin?

Never had anything made by them, but have purchased sunbrella, vinyl, and supplies from them, and they always have 2 or 3 people sewing up something in there.

Wouldn't say Kendor is the highest quality either, I'm just assuming with a 39OL you might be looking for a good quality shop. I don't think they're one of the them.

Thanks Steve, I've called Harken just waiting on a call back. I called Fountain of youth in North Prairie, have you heard of them? That's who some people around here recommended. I just bought the OL a month ago, still have a 32' fever for sale.

I used Canvas Works in Antioch IL before for my dads deck boat...did a nice job and the cover is still going strong after 4 seasons now

That's a beautiful OL, bet you can't wait for summer! I've used Charlie at Fountain of Youth years ago. My storage facility uses them for there canvas and glass work, haven't look at any of there work though.
