I had a cover fixed by Nautilus Covers in Oxnard. It was a simple fix but they did a good job. There have been other recommendation for them here on RDP. From what I remember the shop was a little quirky.

Whoever you go with, LMK how it goes (and the cost if you dont mind). I am one bad wind gust away from a new cover.

I'm in the market too once my boats out of the shop for the refresh. I'm looking at the following shops...

Custom Canvas - Montclair, CA
A-1 Canvas - Chino I think?

So what do you guys guess a cover would cost for a 19 foot outboard?

You can't go wrong with either of those. A-1 is in Upland. My preference is Custom Canvas as they have always done really good work for me and I ski raced behind Ron's boat back in the early 80's.

Plenty of pictures of his work on FB.


I called A1 2 weeks ago for seats and he was a month out.

So was Custom Canvas and they no longer do seats only covers.

I went with King Kid Covers in Santa Clarita. Closer since you live in Simi. He also just made my bimini. He is really good but busy this time of year. He only uses Sunbrella material.

Cost wise, my boat is 21ft and I wanted it to cover past the water line as I wanted to try to eliminate as much fading to the blue gel. Cost $1,900, but that was 3-4 years ago, cost might have gone up.

Talk to Vince.

Just had Custom Canvas repair my tow cover for a 24 ft Schiada, I ask how much for a new one, she said around $2400. Nice cover, multiple color stripes.

This cover is about 9 years old in this pic. Was made by a guy who does these outta his garage here in Vegas. All commercial sewing equipment used. His garage is converted to a workshop. Someone from the board’s recommend him too. All sunbrella with draw strings and with it covering the side really keep dust and dirt out. Think I only paid about $1300 or maybe it was $1500 ??? Still have his info if anybody wants to see if he is still making covers.

That looks really good. What size boat and what did that run you cost wise?

I have someone in Havasu coming out to measure my 26’ Cat Friday morning. Looking for a cover past the water line down to almost the bottom of the boat I suppose for the times I do leave the boat out next to the trailer at CrazyHorse. Got the number from a fellow boater in CH who has a nice cover from a guy that goes back and forth from Upland to Havasu. I will update pricing and how it works out if we come to terms.

22’ Cole Nighthawk, the cover with the stripes and straps along with replacing Bimini straps was 1745. Would be less $$$ if you don’t do stripes and use rope for tie points instead of straps. If you have Instagram look up Customcanvascompany for lots of photos

Custom Canvas all the way.
I just took this Bimini top off a new to my Son Hallett 240, Washed it and the straps 3 times with a bit of dawn and spray in wash and looks like new.
Original CC Bimini built in 1990..
We also had them do some mods and clean to the original 1990 towing cover, and snap on mooring covers.
