Baller_ Wish Posted March 6, 2017 Baller_ Share Posted March 6, 2017 My buddy has an 08 196 and is looking for a just below rub rail cover. Not anything to expensive and does not need to be tip of the line but decent. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller skier2788 Posted March 6, 2017 Baller Share Posted March 6, 2017 Angola canvas. They made my cover for my 2002 196. I heard they made all the covers for Midwest nautique so they have the patterns. Great prices too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller dvskier Posted March 6, 2017 Baller Share Posted March 6, 2017 I have a 2004 SN Limited Edition. Purchased a Carver cover through Overtons for about $500. It's Sunbrella so it has great breath ability and is holding up well after 7 years. My boat is under a covered dock and I can't tell any wear pattern so far. Highly recommended as I previously owned several cheaper covers that always caused mildew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wannabeballer Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 Like dvsskier I too went with a carver sunbrella for my 2000 SN it fits totaly perfect but because I live in Canada I ordered direct and when I did at the end of the phone conversation I asked for rope ratchet and hook set up and they gave it to me for free. So if you go carver its worth a try about $25 buck chuck in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller oldjeep Posted March 6, 2017 Baller Share Posted March 6, 2017 I'd check with your local dealer and see what they are getting for a commercial sewing cover. Likely $700 or more but worth it for a tight fitting strapless cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller PatM Posted March 6, 2017 Baller Share Posted March 6, 2017 @Wish I have a couple of older ones I can sell. One is the original one (canvas) the other is from Ski Boat Covers.com and it is Sunbrella (Marine Blue). I have a 09 196, so its the same boat. Both are in good shape the Sunbrella one is in very good shape. I just got a new one last year that covers everything due to the sun doing a number on the gel coat. PM me if interested.

Baller TEL Posted March 7, 2017 Baller Share Posted March 7, 2017 If your looking for a cheap cover I picked one up from Northern Tools for like $80 for up to a 19' boat it's water proof. I have only had for 4 months but looks like it's holding up. It covers my 2008 196 hanging on my lift. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller jjackkrash Posted March 7, 2017 Baller Share Posted March 7, 2017 I have always just used a cheap WestMarine cover for like $200 and was happy. I have to say, my new Nautique came with a custom cover that is pretty awesome. I goes on like a breeze; its fits perfect and is tight enough to travel; it repells water; and the best thing is, there is zero water ponding anywhere even in heavy rain, and even in the bow area. But I think it was like an $1100 add on, so I hope it lasts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
