Can anyone recommend a good place to have a cockpit cover made to fit on my 18'. I'm over in the Highland/Waterford/Pontiac area.

I drive by a place all the time that seems do to a lot of work. It is called Bev's Canvas on Scott Lake Rd, just south of the Dixie.

I've never used them, but they seem fairly busy.

Kevin,
We switched from the house hunt to the cottage hunt. We have been looking up on the Thumb, as well as Northern Saginaw Bay.....too many options, I can't decide.

I hope the boat is working out for you guys. I have looked at a few boats myself, but nothing yet. :rolleyes:

I can give ya the number of a guy... he's an old italian... but meticulous as hell.... with a commercial machine. He's retired from sewing in the auto industry.... very fair price..below overtons anyways... and will do any material you request..I recommend sunbrella. leave me a message with your number and reference boat cover. .. ray.. 313-628-4805 Hes in warren .. you will have to bring and leave your boat for 2-3 days for full cover... or just bring existing cockpit cover if thats all you need.

BiltRite told me he doesn't do covers. Now, maybe you're talking about the vinyl tonneau cover? If you are talking about canvas or sunbrella then I don't think he'll do it. He does the Original donzi interiors only. If I am wrong, let me know. I need a new canvas cover for my 16. Anybody know what a cover should cost?
