A friend of ours has his shop in Vadnais Heights. Ron has made several covers for us. Great guy and incredible work.

April 26, 2021 at 9:49 pm #2032720Ok guys… snaps or straps with a strap ratchet around the boat.
Snaps on aluminum and ratchet strap on fiberglass.
April 27, 2021 at 6:01 am #2032740My last boat had snaps and was similar to my new to me aluminum. Rachet straps on my new and I will NOT be going back to snaps.
April 27, 2021 at 7:40 am #2032745I’ve got snaps now but will be going with something different on my next rig. 99% of the time my cover sits in a storage bin as the boat goes from a garage to the water and back into a garage. When I do have to deal with a cover, all the snaps are annoying.
April 29, 2021 at 10:19 am #2033429Decided on a shop out of St. Francis. Sounds like he’s using the quality stuff and is relitivley cheap. Ratchet with a strap and straps. Tim’s a good guy on the phone…Answered all my questions….

X2 Canvas Craft did a great job for me and redid the front when I upgraded to the Terrova. I went with snaps it just looks better my opinion. I had mine done for about $950.00 maybe 5-6 years ago.

If I was going to get one made I would figure out whatever that material is and go with that. I damaged mine by driving over one of the straps and the canvas shop repaired it while I waited. Never did ask what type of material it was. Reminds me of the tarps you see on truck trailers with a bit of a rubberized top layer and super thick.
