If this is as easy as it seems I\'ll post a picture of the boat naked. I love seeing the old classics, that Mariah is awesome.

How we made the cover;

Bought Sunbrella from "defender marine" I think. did measurements with story pole, cardboard templates. We based it on the snaps, so we made two pieces, one for the playpen and one for the back. This was a mistake because water leaks down the windshield which is uncovered.

I found that I can't open the JPEGs, but if I save them and open them it works.

nice job! I've often wondered how the newer covers keep water from runing off the windshield and under the bow cover?

good call on saving and re-opening, i couldn't see it otherwise.

that's a really nice looking cover, the stripes and blue wave are awesome. very well done.

i wish my platform looked that good too.

I like the details on the rear of the cover. SWEET!!! My old sunbrella cover is on its last season. A buddy of mine can supply me with the fabric. He works for an awning manufacturer in Knoxville.

Did you place the seam down the length in the center? The one I have has the seam in at least three places perpendicular to the length. I like the single seam if that is what you did. I have to work around a tower, but I have modified the current cover with rope and hooks to go around and tie it together.

Good job!

Great looking cover and boat. Anyone put a tower on a Sunport?
