SCFD rtrd. Posted December 23, 2017 Report Share Posted December 23, 2017 Does anyone have any suggestions on designing a boat/motor cover if the boat is kept on a lift? Also, any suggestions on a canvas shop around Englewood or surrounding area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gambler1 Posted December 23, 2017 Report Share Posted December 23, 2017 It's a bit of a drive for you but, Shumakes in Tampa are top notch for a custom cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert3 Posted December 23, 2017 Report Share Posted December 23, 2017 I got mine here in Fort Myers, covers to the hard chine.. you could use it as a template if you want Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonV Posted December 23, 2017 Report Share Posted December 23, 2017 Gambler1 is correct. This is the last one on my Bonefisher, which replaced the first one Shumakes did. Oh yeah the first one lasted eleven years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm planning to extend my catwalks (wider) and extend the dock in front of the boat so I can basically walk around the boat while it's on the lift. Can I secure the cover over the motor and transom from inside the boat? DonV, is that Sunbrella material? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonV Posted December 23, 2017 Report Share Posted December 23, 2017 No Sir. If I remember correctly, which is getting harder to do, it's Top Gun material. The one on my SeaCraft is the fourth one Shumakes has made for me and all were Top Gun. He can make it what ever you want Top Gun or Sunbrella. I like the fabric weight of the Top Gun.

Robert3 Posted December 24, 2017 Report Share Posted December 24, 2017 I deploy it on the lift. It covers to the bustle and you tie to the sea star cylinders. I have to place a plank inside the white guide poles across the beams and the cover ties on with rope under the bunks and hull. it has 3 vents and takes in air around the transom. But it gets very hot, there is a fan on a timer and i take off windshield and electronics except Simrad seems to take it.. Discolors stickers.. The guy that made it, said he can add engine and power pole covers to this cover. I have both already. And he said Black lasts the longest believe it or not.. Sunbrella looks new and its had 4 summers.. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&ved=0ahUKEwj7krG7y6HYAhUCRiYKHcYCAdEQFgjfATAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.boatersbook.com%2FBusinesses%2FUnited-States%2FFlorida%2FFt-Myers-Beach%2FLand-Sea-Air-Upholstery-Canvas%2F_L2DBkp&usg=AOvVaw1Gbc-Y5Yj9E_S1ZywOeyJF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCFD rtrd. Posted December 24, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 24, 2017 Man, that's a good looking set-up. Thanks for the detailed information. I plan to fill-in the dock in the front, similar to yours. This brings up more questions; 1. Did you modify the bunks to accommodate the stepped hull? 2. Please tell me more about the fan on a timer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
