Custom Cover - Who Makes A Good One Locally

Cape_Horn_24 · 03-09-2010, 11:09 PM

I'm looking for a custom cover for my 24' Cape Horn. Below is a picture of what I am looking for. I'm getting tired of cleaning my boat afterI get done fishing & then before I go again. Anyone recommend a reputable place between Pensacola & Destin? I have heard good things about a place called T-Top Boat Covers out of SC, but they don't have the pattern for my boat and taking it to Charleston, SC is not an option. If you have any pictures of one you have had made, please post on here. I have read about several different materials, which do you thinkare the best? I definitely want something that will breathe and keep the boat dry. I'monly looking for a storage cover, not needed for towing. Let me know what you think....

I'm sure Coastal Canvas in Gulf Breeze or Canvas Specialties in FWB can fix you up. Be prepared to pay though. Something with that much canvas and stitching wont be cheap.

+1. They made two for me, both for Cape Horns (19' and 21') and they lasted a long time considering the abuse they take.

Been a while, had it done in 2002, but it seems like it was around the $400 range - give or take a little. The 19' was bout the same in 2000.

Mine were a little different than the pic shown above. Mine went through the t-top, over the windshield rather than all the way up the top and zipped up tight on both sides. Basically the same you see there, but with prolly two more feet of the t-top legsexposed. Call Redish, they should be able to quote it over the phone as they used to make them pretty regular.
