Unhappy 27' boat cover

I need to find full cover for a 27 Fever suitable for towing. I'm purchasing a boat in the Chicago area next week and need a cover urgently.

Any suggestions?

Thanks bl

I towed mine back 150 miles with no cover. It sucked because it had to start snowing that day.

The stock full cover is not really good for towing. The stock cockpit cover seems to be fine for towing. I'd say just put the cockpit cover on it and tow it back.

Have it wrapped if they can. If it is done correctly, you should have no problems at all. I would not tow that distance with a cover that you are not familiar with. Could chafe worse than those corderoys you wore as a kid. (sorry if you are still wearing them)

I will look in to shrink wrapping. Maybe Shogren can do it.

Thanks for the replies.

If you do find that you need a full cover, you can take a look at http://boatcovers.com/index.htm. They have some custom fit covers and semi-custom. The one in the pic is a semi-custom, powerboat style, sunburst fabric. Not a bad product. I make custom covers for boats, and have even put one of these on my own. Still would not tow with a cover on.
