    vegas cover

    I will need a cover for my vegas this spring. Has anyone found a stock size or manufacturer that works well?

    It seems that all the 20' covers will be too wide.

    Thanks

    good luck. Save up and have one made for you at a custom canvas shop, get the best that you can afford, if you really want it to last. I have a $120 wal-mart type nylon cover, and it sucks. I had one from Hydrostream's favorite canvas shop before, and it almost fit OK. The patterns for the Vegas XT that these shops use is for the "new" XT, ever-so-slightly different shape, and the pattern has no provision for the motor, cables, and steering hardware. Basically the pattern was made from a boat with no motor installed. duuuuhhh!!!!

    Wal-Mart /Meijer piece of sh** cover $100-150
    "Vegas XT" cover (overtons, bimini shop pattern, etc) $300-400 depending on fabric
    Custom-made cover $500-1000 depending on fabric and size/complexity

    a westerland?? cover fits but your right it extends over the side but does function as a cover... if you want a true cover get one custom done.. that way it is built to your boat, setup, and exact layout of rigging

    things that were are no longer as they are today...

    I know this is an old oost but I'm tempted to buy this one
    http://www.ebay.com/itm/272053995050 , it is for the 03-06 Vegas ....I realize a different boat but for the money it must be better than a Walmart universal cover ?
    Thoughts ?
