Here are pics of my newest (second effort) boat cover. It was originally made for a Malibu powerboat. I bought it on Ebay, and had a canvas shop cut the hole for the mast, install a zipper to the side, square off the front and cut about 5 ft off the back. Total cost, about $150. If I want to, I can put it over the boom and tie off to the lifelines.

Do you have the model number for the cover? I'd like to do this for my boat.

Sorry, I don't have the model number, but any cover for a 16-18 ft powerboat will work. My first one was for a Tahoe boat. Just look for the following criteria:
1. Good fabric, sharkskin or sunbrella, etc. not polyester
2. Straps that would go under the boat while it is on a trailer
3. No elastic around the edge of the cover.

Something like this:

Pricing may be a bit higher now since we are getting into boating season. I bought mine in the fall. Also, I went for a lighter color, had tan on the first one; the current one is grey.
