Universal Boat cover

[rkpolaris]

Hello, Ive got an alumacraft lunker 16ft, I'm having difficulty trying to find a cover that fits it as it measures 16' 8'' roughly. an a width of 67''. I bought the ''A"" model which is for 14-16ft boats with a width of 68'', that one was too short but the width was fine. the next size up is the "B" which is for 14-16ft boats with a width of 90'' this model is far too wide.Anyone know of a cover that is for a 17ft boat with a width of 68"?

Sadly this fairy tail hardly ends up with Goldilocks finding the Universal cover that fits "just right" for a boat.  Unless you get one from the Mfg or have a custom made the store ones never fit the best. I've seen so many ill fitting uni-covers ripped to shreds from people trying to use them as a travel cover and flapping badly on the hwy until they rip.

The best thing you can do is try one and bring it back try a different brand and bring it back until you find the best fitting one you can find. Good Luck.

some times you are better off getting one that's custom to the boat.  we pay good money for good toys and then skimp on something like that.  not any more for me, boats, Harley what ever..

Some straps or ropes will help fix it up.

...and there is a difference between a travel cover versus a mooring cover.

very true Hoey, again that is why I have a custom make cover.

Last month I too had bought a new boat which was shipped from Santa Barbara to Fresno by We Will Transport It services. After the boat transportation, I had decided to cover my boat, but my boat was too big and I was dealing with the same situation as yours. Then my neighbor had suggested that why not try for custom fit covers because they are manufactured for the exact standards of a particular model of boat. So, I think you should go through online sites and search for custom fit covers that will definitely fit out your boat.

Canvas Craft in Rogers made a beautiful cover for my 18' Sportfish. Much better quality than the cover Crestliner made. I can use it for travel which is nice, the old one just got new holes in it if I did that. I highly recommend them.

We all can use this SHOP to buy the covers. I think it's the best offer.

Custom cover or settle for extra material and straps. For my last boat (14ft) I went with a 16ft cover, orginally bought one at FF that didn't hold up well and surprisingly someone on the forum suggested Menards and for the price it was pretty durable
