I bought a cover from New England Correct Craft for the 1974 mustang 17 about 4 years ago. It was the drawstring type which is harder to put on. I wanted this cause I didnt want to drill for snaps on the boat. The cover for the 76 Mustang 17 was built locally by a upholstery shop which has 9 snaps into the hull. I really didnt care so much about the snaps on that boat because its a beater boat. The cover does go on alot easier though! Just a thought, but i believe a Ski Nautique cover would fit where they were both 18 ft. May have to do some windshield tweaking though.

Overton's has a good selection as does www.bartswatersports.com
We have a chain called Academy Sports here in Texas that also carries boat covers. |

Here in Indiana there is a place called Angola Canvas Company....I have pasted a link to their website above. This location has 1000's of patterns for boats and have been a supplier to Mid-West CC for a number of years. I called this company and confirmed that they had a pattern for my boat....they did.....I said please make me one...and specified the canvas type, color, etc. and a few weeks later a complete cover arrived at my home....it fit perfect the first time! I would recommend them. |

One last comment.
When you contact Angola....specify that you want tiedown loops / eyelets installed and also that you want the snaps left loose and sent in a bag. By leaving the snaps loose it is possilbe for the boat owner to match the snap locations on the cover to the locations on the boat. Snap installation is very easy with a snap tool that you can pick up at a local hardware store or fabric /sewing store. |
