Boat Covers and Tops
We primarily use Sunbrella 100% acrylic canvas which offers a five year warranty with 50 solid colors to choose from. Reinforced with heavy coated vinyl for wear areas with choice of adjustable mooring pole or fiberglass slats to channel rain off your cover.Need help choosing a cover?
Full Travel / Mooring Cover(also known as full cover, travel cover, morning cover)
This cover is custom-made to each boat from sizes 12-30 ft. This cover is trailable if reinforced and custom fit properly. We finish the cover with a bottom drawstring and vinyl reinforcement on the wear-areas with rubber rope to tension cover to trailer. This cover can be used in the water, running down the highway, or in dry storage.
Cockpit CoverThis is a convenience type cover which encloses the interior of the boat and protects it from the elements. Normally ˝ to 1/3 the size of a full cover, it snaps on and off for use in the water, running down the road, or in dry storage. The two versions of this cover are as follows:
Sport TopThis is a convertible top, on an aluminum frame, which folds down for storage. We can add a zippered flap to accommodate split windshields. The rear of the sports top has 1-inch adjustments straps for future adjustments. The leading edge is snapped to the top of the windshield.
Convertible TopEssentially the same as a sport top, but the rear corners have diagonal pieces of fabric to snap the beam of the boat, instead of the 1-inch adjustment straps.
Clear Side CurtainsThis pair of vertical clear plastic curtains allows users to zip them to the sport/convertible top to enclose the front seats of the boat.
Bow CoverThis cover snaps to the open bow of the boat, which encloses the seating and storage areas ahead of the walk through windshield. A vertical mooring pole holds up the center of the cover, which allows water and rain to run off.
Aft CurtainsThis cover zips on to the top rear of the sport/convertible top. The aft curtain snaps to the side beams of the boat, follows that back to the rear then across the stern. This diagonal aft curtain covers the rear interior of the boat. Boaters who leave their boats in the water and need a convenient way to cover the interior without taking down the sport/convertible top usually zip on the aft curtain.
Bimini Top(also Sun Top or Bikini Top)
This top is generally used on larger boats (25ft.+) with lower windshield glass or with a fly bridge. Many people confuse this bimini top with a sport top or convertible top. A bimini top is designed on a 3 or 4 ribbed frame with adjustable tie-down straps—both forward and aft. It is not attached to the windshield and is normally larger than both other tops. In addition to the straps, it may also have stanchions (diagonal frame tubing) attached to the bimini top frame to secure it to the boat.
CamperbackThis type of top is zipped on to the rear edge of a sport/convertible top. The camperback top is on a separate frame. It covers the rear of the boat to all the way back to the stern-overhead. On some original equipment setups, the rear side curtains (behind the vertical clear plastic side windows) and rear vertical stern rear curtain are incorporated as one single unit. But custom shops generally make the camperback, vertical rear side curtains, and rear vertical stern curtain separate with zippers, snaps, or Velcro.
Rear Side CurtainsThis pair of curtains attaches (zips on) to the rear of the vertical clear side curtains and zips on to the outside top edge of the camperback. These curtains can incorporate clear window plastic or screens with clear plastic windows, or even solid fabric, depending on the ventilation or privacy needs.
Vertical Rear Stern CurtainThis rear stern curtain also has many variations. These certain can incorporate a clear plastic window or screen with a clear plastic window, or solid fabric which allows for privacy or ventilation needs. An entry zipper may be needed as an added feature.
Vertical Drop CurtainThis type of curtain, by zipping it to the back of a convertible top and side curtains, is a favorite of the foul-weather sportsmen, allowing the comfort of a semi-enclosure (mini-camperback).
As you can imagine, the variations of different kinds of tops and covers for your particular boat can be numerous. But, of course, that is where we come in to customize canvas for your specific needs.
