Does anyone know of a different place for a wake tower cover. The below link is the only one i could find on the web. they look nice, but way more than i wanted to spend.

WOW - great idea, but $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ Don't know of any others.
I had asked my local canvas guy, he said he wouldn't touch it -- too many angles, etc.
SO - perhaps the $650 isn't SO bad, but still a lot!

I'm not really sold on these. I pesonally like the covers that go over the entire boat. Tower and all. Pretty much does the same thing but allows you to seal off the boat as well.

Just a thought.

cm, I really like those "over the tower" covers too - but I wouldn't want to trailer
with that beast on the boat. This sock (claims trailerable) would keep the bugs etc
down for sure trailering, that's the difference I would see here.

If its bugs you want to avoid just use plastic food wrap on the tower tubes ez on ez off and cheap.

My thoughts exactly Jet^^

It looks like about 50 yards of material too much all squished up. Reminds me of this,

I'm glad I joined the world in the middle of the 80's and missed this

Yea. I see your point. The only benefit that I can see is keeping the bugs off. But man...what an eye sore. I wouldn't tow the boat with the cove I was speaking of. I'm not a big fan of traveling with covers on. Seems to do more harm than good.
