Can anyone reccomend a canvas shop that can do a custom, full boat cover around LA/OC? I brought the boat back from Havasu for awhile and the harbor covers aren't doing it for me.

You can try A1 canvas in Upland. Louie does great work but he's been pretty busy so it may take a while. Are you doing full cover or just compertments?

King Kid Covers in Santa Clarita. I’ve had four different covers made by him over the past 20 years. Just had this one done as well as a new bimini.

That snap on skirt is a cool idea. Great way to save $$$ vs. Having 2 full separate covers for storage and towing. Does it lash to the trailer too to help from being wind blown etc.?

It’s not lashed to the trailer at all. One side skirt has three or four straps that go underneath the trailer and buckle to the other side skirt. It’s just enough to keepthem from flapping in the wind.

I’ve done this with all my boats. Since she spends all her time outside I’ll do my best to keep it protected. I throw a tarp over the cover in the winter to keep the water off of it. So far it’s worked out very well.

Full cover, I have some harbor covers but it's just not enough on the trailer.

I have one of Brian's (Perfection boat covers) on my cruiser and it is a nice custom cover, and he is a really nice guy.

Thanks for the reccomendations here. Will be calling everyone listed. I couldn't resist how close Mike's was and I called him last night. He said to send pics and get there by 1pm to get the boat in before he leaves for a trip. I send the pics, give him dimensions, call this morning to confrim, I get there and he said the "boat is too big" and he can't do it. What the actual F*?
