I decided to get a cover for my Alumacraft 1648 MV this fall. I normally keep the boat in the garage, but wanted to be able to store it outside when I have a wood working project going in the garage.
I have had 2 custom covers made in the past for boats, but didn’t want to spend the money for a custom cover for my tin. I bought a cover from one of the big box sporting goods stores a few years ago and the fit was so terrible I never used it.
I thought I would give one of our site sponsors, Boat Covers Direct a try. I checked out their website and had a couple of questions. I called Customer Service and a nice lady with English as her first language actually answered the phone. She was very knowledgeable and polite.
I placed my order for a Carver 7oz. Sun-DURA cover on Saturday on line and received it on via FedEx on Tuesday. Shipping was free. I noted that I was a TinBoats member and received a 10% discount.
I finally got around to installing it today and was very pleased with the quality and fit. It came with a tie down strap kit and a carry bag.
I have not trimmed the straps yet as shown in the picture. I think I will make 3 support bows before I trim them.
The product, in my opinion, is a very good value, the Customer Service was great and the product is made in the USA.
