Boat Covers for the PQ
 

Are there any companies that manufacture boat covers for Powerquests? I think it's time to invest in a nice winter cover for next year rather then doing the shrink wrap thing. Just seems like such a waste of money when you rip it off in the spring time. I may ask a local canvas lady I've used for things in the past to make a custom cover for me, but thought I'd check with you guys first. Thanks

You'll have to get it custom made.

And be prepared to part with some money. Good covers are far from cheap.

Bought one for my 380 Avenger from Carver Industries. I went with the Performance Poly Guard material and price was around $500. Cover fits excellent.

How long ago was that, I'm thinking I should get on as well.

Mike- get a hold of our good buddy Thomas... He has a cover guy that's excellent. Even has your factory 380 pattern:D
I would call ya to tell ya but you never answer any calls!! :p

I'm sure I will have to open the savings account just to have one made :eekdrop:, but it will be worth it long term. Sinking $400.00 a winter in shrink wrap adds up so I'd rather put that money towards a cover that will "hopefully" last ten years or so. If we did not plan on keeping this boat long term then I would not bother on the cover, but long term; I think it would be a good investment.

Cory H. Thanks for the tip. I will look them up and see what they have to offer.

Oh man I love you guys!!
I'm in the middle of moving but i may just answer if you call.....

I bought it in May when I bought the boat. Did not put it on until a couple weeks ago after I winterized and took to storage, as I keep it in a covered slip during the season. Cover fits very well. Only complaint is the drawstring is elastic. I plan to replace it with 1/4" rope and use a "cincher" ratchet. The elastic drawstring makes for a PITA removal and replacement, as you can't roll it up well. Otherwise, fit iand quality is excellent. If faced with the need for another cover, I would buy another from Carver in a heartbeat.

I used Westland for my old boat and it fit like a glove as well. Westland did not have any for Powerquest when I was looking.

If you order from Carver, call them up and ask for what you want (including a discount). Lady helped me with 10% off web prices. Received in 7 days on my door step as promised. Fits good for a relatively generic fit.

Coming to the USA ? LOL.

I'll third Carver. I\This is my second cover from them, and for a generic it fits well. I also have had two of thier Biminis, those are great too-

I checked their web site out, but they do not have anything for a 2004 280SC. Looks like a custom made cover is in my future. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ ouch

They didn't have mine listed on the website either, but a call got me one that fits as well as any off the shelf cover can and a whole lot less $$$ than custom. IIRC, I paid $275 or so.

Same here (mine wasn't listed).

I'll have to call. Thanks guys.

not yet..maybe net move!

Good info on the covers, thanks!

Found another canvas company out of New Jersey. They are called "Fisher Canvas Products Inc.". I helped a friend of mine put his on this weekend and it is very high quality material. There are slots in the cover that you slide 2x4's into for supports. Obviously this type of cover is strictly a winter cover. I've never seen material on a boat cover as nice and as strong as this. Needless to say, I emailed them to get a quote. Just thought I'd pass along the info. http://www.fishercanvas.com/
