I just looked on line and there’s plenty of different makers that make them for your boat. Just type in boat cover for your boat model. Anywhere from $250 on up. Good luck.

Amazon.

Factory cover for my boat was $700 ?

Went to Amazon for under $200.

You can find really good covers for 'next to nothing' on Amazon. This one cost the wife $70...she got it for my birthday last fall. Trailerable, elastic rim, adjustable straps, 600 denier...top of the line, just from an 'unknown' company.

All depends on what your gonna do with it ??  A general vover to keep dust and dirt out then most any cheap cover will work.  Where covers earn there keep is trailering !!  Takes a well made and fitted cover to last when being towed !   Owned numerous cover in my 60 yrs of boating, if your gonna tow, spring for a custom fitted cover, if just a non towed cover, any decent cover will suffice. Keeping them taught is what keeps the water out, most covers leak where they sag.

I used to get my boat covers from menards for about 100 bucks but it’s been about 7 years since I bought one.

My cover is just a standard factory Ranger cover that the salesman threw in as a $500 bonus when I bought my boat. It’s certainly a nice perk but it’s not custom fit or designed to hold up while towing long distances in inclement weather. I use it about twice a year and almost never while towing.

 

If you intend to trailer your boat with a cover on for long distance and you’ll be parking outside a lot, a custom tight fitting durable cover is a better choice.

If you want it to last more than a couple of years exposed to the elements, make sure it's a 600 denier.

If you have front and rear seats a rain/snow shedding cover is easy to make.  I built a frame, out of 1 1/2" pvc, that fits over the seat posts and the middle rests on the deck.  The ridge pole is about 3 or 4' above the deck.  I put curved, electrical pvc, on the ends.  I use a heavy duty silver tarp and many bungees to hold it on the trailer or use gallon water bottles.  It's easier to put on with 2 people but I can do it alone if necessary.  The pvc lasts forever and the tarp lasts for a couple or 3 years if left out all the time.
