Hi fellow 4.1 SC poly owners,
I was hoping someone who has a 4.1 SC can offer some info on the location of where I can buy a boat cover, the length required and type of boat cover that would suit my boat. It also has an electric which sticks out just past the bow of the boat.
I live in the Sydney area and am after the type that can be used for travelling.
Any assistance would be appreciated
Had mine specifically made for my boat; trouble is, I'm in Hobart so I can't help with any suggestions as to who could make one in Sydney:

Thanks Barry for the response, that is a nice custom job you had done.
Yeah, I'm very happy with it. It was just a stroke of luck that the makers had material in the same colour as my boat on hand - I didn't specifically request it (I would have been happy with pretty much anything other than white).

I've got a 4.1 centre console and bought an off the shelf 'shore guard' with the webbing straps. Its just gone through a windy night from tc laurence and its as good as gold.
Try BIAS or Whitworths for an off the shelf job squidders, and you can have a medium quality one for around $100. My last custom job for a 4.2 hornet cost around $600, and that was about 6 years or more.
The main difference is being able to tow with the cover on, as the custom jobs are far better quality material.
Either way it pays to try and peak the centre of the cover to stop any water buildup from occurring.
The custom job will have to be done by a motor trimmer or upholstery place, so get a few quotes first, and try to check their workmanship.
