Default Snap On Cover

I'm looking to get a snap on cover for my Yarcraft. Anyone know of a good place that I can get one within 50 miles of N. Illinois/S.Wisconsin? My boat is fiberglass so I'm not sure if it's even possible. Thanks for your help!
Brian

Call these guys. Not sure about the 'glass but they did a super custom cover for my Alumacraft.

This guy is the best in my opinion. He makes custom snap covers for all boats. Well worth the drive and he will stand behind his work. If you go to him, ask him for a "Top Gun" material cover.

Default Lohaus is the way to go.

He is the best. Custom doesn't begin to describe him. Do a search for Lohaus here on WC.

I'll third Lohaus. I had him build a cover for my Trophy 175 and after my brother saw it he immediately had him build one for his Trophy 200. My brother-in-law also had him make him one for his 175. Once you see one of his covers you won't buy someone else's. My cover is five years old with zero issues and fits like a glove.

Snaps are the way to go but don't let them put the male end of the snap in the hull. They can go on the underside of the rub rail.

Default Lohaus all the way

I'll be the fourth for Lohaus Covers.

Custom Cover on a 20' Alumacraft, interior repair, bow cushions, spare tire covers. He does it all.
