How to Measure Your Boat for a Custom Cover

Achieving the perfect fit for your custom boat cover starts with accurate vessel measurements. Use a flexible tape measure along the centerline for length, at the widest deck point for beam, and vertically from gunwale to highest fixed point for height. Compare against the manufacturer’s size chart; opt for a cover 1-2 inches larger with adjustable straps for secure fit during trailering or mooring.

  • Length: Tip of bow to stern centerline, excluding outboard motor but including fixed platforms.
  • Beam Width: Widest point left to right at mid-deck.
  • Height: Gunwale to highest fixed point, excluding removable antennas or bimini tops.

“Survived two brutal Minnesota winters with temperatures down to -25°F and heavy snow loads. My boat’s interior stayed completely dry – no mildew, no moisture, no problems. The Sunbrella fabric still looks perfect. Best money I’ve spent on boat accessories. Installation is quick once you get the hang of it.”

Sarah Lindstrom

“This cover is absolutely worth every penny. I’ve had universal covers before and they were garbage – always flapping, water pooling, tearing after a year. This custom cover fits like a glove and after 3 years looks brand new. My boat’s interior is pristine and I know I’ve saved thousands in avoided damage.”
