I have a pontoon boat in the Stillwaters area and I am looking for someone to install a full canvas cover (with center poles) on my boat. Can anyone recommend who does this in the area that would come out and measure the boat and make/install the complete cover at my pier?

Thanks, Sagetek1

I posted this in the Boat Maintenance forum also.

Have you tried calling the manufacturer of the pontoon or a dealer to find out how to order a custom fitted factory cover and then locate someone locally to install the hardware to keep it on? The poles are easy to buy.

Thanks for the reply......I have the manufacturers covers for the seats, etc. but they do not offer a full cover for my pontoon. A 22 foot Sweetwater (Godfrey). The individual covers do a great job on the seats and console, but leaves the carpet and all else exposed. Would be nice to cover it all. I just watched a person cover their boat with a full cover by themselves and it probably took no more time than doing mine.

Are you sure they do not make one? Godfrey rarely misses an opportunity to make money. I have owned several Godfrey pontoons and they all had the option for the playpin cover. Call Jeff at The Ridge Marinia and see if he can order it. I might be wrong but would think they have one that fits the 22ft boats Sweetwater, Aqua Pation or SanPan.

Thanks, but isn't the playpen cover just a partial cover? I did see that as an option, but it seemed that the individual seat covers like I had was an upgrade. Can you post a link somehow showing what a "playpen" cover really is? CAn't they just say "full"? I purchased the boat at Ridge by the way.

This place can make ANYTHING out of Sunbrella fabric. They feature outdoor furniture but I have spoken with them and they can make any custom item.

I do not have the link but I have owned several playpin covers. They cover from the bow to stern and side to side with usually 3 - 4 post to support the middle. Jeff or Donnie should be able to help you at the Ridge

Most playpen covers enclose the top side of the boat (They snap to the outside of the playpen and usually extend to the front and cover the carpeted area there). My last pontoon had a playpen cover and individual seat covers; I rarely used the individual seat covers because they were tedious, took up a lot of extra space, and as you said they don't protect the carpet. Factory playpen covers are available for most brands and you should be able to order one and have your dealer install the necessary snaps. See example below.
