Suggest you go to Atlantic Sail Traders -- price is reasonable for new.

I bought one from a canvas guy located in upstate NY on Oneida Lake, very reasonable, excellent quality. I also got a tiller cover too. Here is a link on eBay where he sells. I remember getting is cheaper because it was a closeout due to the color (Tan). It may be worth checking out.

Similar to the other options, I bought my cover from Catalina Direct about 10 years ago and it is still fine. It utilizes reinforced snaps for closures.

Sorry for not responding sooner. Thanks everyone. I appreciate your input and will look into all three companies.

I was thinking they were around $180 - $200 and was surprised when looking at CD and seeing $341.00. Especially when a companionway cover with a lot more canvas and complicated layout is only $314.00.

The cost seems to have gone up quite a bit. Also, I noticed that CD displays the cover different than years ago. The photo now does not show the cover full length and there appears to be fewer choices.

I'll be calling them tomorrow!

How long are our covers supposed to be?

EDIT: Just measured my old one and it measured 11' 8". It was not on the boat, just laid it out flat.

CD says theirs are approx. 12' so I don't now if that means 11'8" or 12'.

Gary, I just measured my old cover at 11'3" I think a 12 would be way too long. I got mine from the EBay guy. He will make it any length or color you want by using the contact seller link. Very happy with it. I also used Lee for my jib sock and am happy with it also. If I remember right, The EBay guy adjusted the price down for the shorter length. PS. I just got my bill out and I ordered it at 11 ft and it fits perfectly. Remember you need some space at the end of the boom so you can tie it off.

Thank you Scott!

I need to order a new bimini (mine is too far gone to use for measuring) and I was wondering if there is any chance I could get you to measure the height of your bimini from where it's mounted on the coaming to the top of the center bow at it's peak and also to the under side of your boom when it's clipped into the pigtail?

Sorry Gary, I missed your question. The Bimini is an off the shelf. It was a 61 to 66 wide and 36 tall. The legs had to be cut an inch or two so it would fit under the boom. Mine is mounted on top of the coaming, Not to the side deck or the tracks. The boat is in winter storage so I cant measure anything right now.
