I am looking to have a boat cover made for my 2004 Captiva 232 CC.

Anyone have any ideas where to look? I would like to go from bow to swin platform.

I have the custom fit cover but want to cover more than cockpit..

    If it were down here I'd take it to my local canvas gal(Coastal canvas in Cortez, Fl) and have her add an extension(s) to fit my need. I guess I'm saying if it's in good shape and you live near a canvas shop they might have ideas that might not seem apparent and it might work fine. 

    Have a great season, Mike

    How did the cover from Westland work out?  I have the same boat and am interested in the same type of cover.

    Very nice cover, love it. But it seems a little short in the back corner. I have to pull real hard to get it over the corner of the platform then the other corner pops off. Working with I boats to get it resolved. Great cover tho. The boat is way cleaner then when I use the stock cockpit cover. I have pics of it on my boat if you want to see it.

    Pictures sent.

    The cover is awesome just doesn't fit comfortably on one corner of the swim platform. To be honest I love this cover so much if I cant get this resolved I am going to still keep it.

     

    Working with Westland/iBoats now to get a resolution. Westland said it is made specifically for this boat and the reason it does not fit in the corner is because I don't have it strapped down. doesn't make sense to me but cannot argue it as I haven't strapped it down yet. The boat is an hour from my house so I will look into this.

    This is the one I bought (Sharkskin Supreme SD):

    Well, it turns out that the cover does fit nice and snug. There was a draw string that I didn't think would affect anything but it does. Once I loosened it the cover fits, tight but fits.

    @Madcow ... several different ways to attach pics. You should see "Attach A File" in the lower left of the text box you type in. With that you can select any file (photo, video, pdf, etc.). You can also click on the "Insert Image" box on the tool bar above the text box and include a link to any online photo site you have (Flikr, Picasa, Shutterfly, etc.). You can also take the easiest path of all and simply drag a pic from your computer to your text box. Hope that helps!

    I called them to have a modified one for the bimini and they said they just make per Rinkers drawings of the boat.

     

    So I just lower the bimini. You could buy one and have it customized or have a custom one made.

    I have a 232 bowrider. Anyone suggest bimini that will cover more of the cockpit and backseat area?
