My dad just bought a 17X54 Diamond Back driftboat. Where can he get a good cover?

I bought a new DB about 15 years ago. Also bought a nice cover for it. It cost me about $325. I don't remember who made it for me.. My point here is I bought it and I think it only went on once until I used the boat, then it never went on again.. I reallized it wasn't worth the trouble, they're not very waterproof, stuff MOLDS up inside unless you store in a dry place, but then all it really is doing is keeping the cats out..Just thought I'd give you something to think about before you spend a lot of money on one.. Sound like your Dad got a nice boat, I bought a DiamondBack from Doug also. Its been a great boat, have fun....Sorry, but if your boat was just a foot shorter you could have my cover.....

5 C's. They are in Oregon City somewhere. I know they are listed. They have made covers for 2 different drift boats of mine. They make a really nice cover. They use Top Gun material and they stay dry inside in all conditions. Each of them was less than $300.00.

I have had mine for 3 years and it stays outside all year. I have had no mold and it stays dry inside even at the coast all winter. Pete

Go to any upohlstery shop and they will custom make one for you. MAy not be much spendier than pre-made. For material, Top Gun are or Sunbrella are two good choices.
