Scott S Posted June 4, 2014 Report Posted June 4, 2014 On my way up to North Bay my travel cover split right down the middle. Does anyone know of a travel cover place. My boat is a 1600 Crestliner Fishhawk side console. Or would it be better to go with the cheaper cover, do they work just as good. Thanks Scott
DRIFTER_016 Posted June 4, 2014 Report Posted June 4, 2014 (edited) Hey Scott Head on over to Canadian Tire. They have Naviskin Boat Covers on sale up to 45% off this week. 40% off on the 14'-17' model http://www.canadiantire.ca/en/pdp/sports-rec/marine/boat-parts-accessories/boat-covers/naviskin-boat-covers-0791210p.html Edited June 4, 2014 by DRIFTER_016
bare foot wader Posted June 4, 2014 Report Posted June 4, 2014 (edited) keep your receipt if you go the crappy tire way, I had to exchange mine twice in one summer before I just got store credit (the second time took a lot of complaining, "I must have been using it too hard"...had to escalate an email to their corporate service email, the local manager was useless, took about 2 weeks to resolve)...I'd personally spend a bit more on a quality cover the first time my buddy got a custom made somewhere in ON for 650 shipped, I can't remember the name but I'm sure somebody else here will chime in could you get your old cover repaired?

Scott S Posted June 4, 2014 Author Report Posted June 4, 2014 Hey thanks Driffter I will go check them out for sure. Bare foot wader the cover is totaled ripped from one end to the other.

Rizzo Posted June 5, 2014 Report Posted June 5, 2014 those cdn tire covers go on sale every other week...I know because I have debated buying one ten times in the last 20 weeks!
porkpie Posted June 5, 2014 Report Posted June 5, 2014 The cheap grey cordura cover sold at bass pro (can't remember model name) travels and trailers very well and has a 3 year warranty. I got my monies worth out of it! Worth looking into.
NANUK Posted June 5, 2014 Report Posted June 5, 2014 You get what you pay for, Sunbrella and top gun are 2 of the best meterials out there, I had a custom Top Gun cover made for my Fish Hawk 10 years ago, fits tight like a glove and doesn't flop around on the highway,( that's what destroys them ) Still looks good and not a stitch has come apart. A very good investment IMO
mark demmery Posted June 5, 2014 Report Posted June 5, 2014 I just had one made for my Crestliner 16 SC. Had it done at Garys Custom Marine in Cambridge. Very impressed. totally agree, you get what you pay for!
Raf Posted June 5, 2014 Report Posted June 5, 2014 I replaced my CT cover after 3-4 years this year. I usually trailer with it off unless it is raining. I found it is the UV damage from the sun that destroyed mine. YMMV
Scott S Posted June 6, 2014 Author Report Posted June 6, 2014 Has anyone dealt with empire boat covers. They look to have some good deals and also have a cover that match's my boat. Scott
