Skater Full Cover
 
I am looking for somebody to build a lightweight Non Towing Full Cover for my 2006 36' Classic Deck. Anybody know of soembody that has done one recently? It would be great not to have to leave the boat somehwere for a few weeks while they measure and build one ie: it would great if somebody had one built by a cover builder recently, then I maybe could just oder one.

i would not tow with a cover on. it will shred your paint
get a cockpit cover, then have carrie covers build you a lightweight cover that matches your paint job. it will not harm your paint either.
DO NOT TOW WITH A FULL COVER

Will not tow with it on that's why I said Non Tow cover. I already have a cocpit Cover which works well for Towing.

I had a full cover made with Sunbrella fabric from a local guy and he charged me 2500.00 which i thought was fair SKATER wanted 7500.00 let me know if you need his #

Pro 1 Have you even had one of those S hooks straighten out?

Pro1 12-04-2007 05:17 PM

I have the other straps too. The trailer business was a dealer for MR products.

We make custom Skater covers. I can have one designed in mulitple colors or just one color. We typically use Aqualan versus Sunbrella. But we will be able to work with whatever material you prefer. I will check with my boss and see if he can get me an estimate - we completed his '28 Skater Cover and it is great!

SkaterWearLine 12-11-2007 01:21 PM

to add to my above comment... we would most likely need your boat to get the best fit for the cover possible.

Xchoke03 02-08-2008 08:35 PM

Pro1 suggested Gioia Sails to me for my cover and DAMN did he hook me up. These are awesome people with a great product, they give you total custom at a great price.

Thanks Pro I owe you a cold one for SURE !!!
