Are you looking for a cockpit cover? If so, you could probably order the canvas from Four Winns through your local dealer. You may have to install the snaps yourself. Or, have a local canvas shop quote it.

EDIT:
I saw your pic of your boat, I guess you don't need a cockpit cover. :oops:
You must mean a full cover for the entire boat ?

Four Winns uses Great Lakes Boat Top for their OEM covers.

http://www.greatlakesboattop.com/fourwinns

Ask 'em for a quote for your model.

Thanks for the link !! That is excellent. I'm sure they are pricey, but knowing you will get a factory fit is nice.

Where do you get a "gun" to install those snaps in to cover?
I got cockpit cover from Four Winns and it's basically DIY kit with snaps, screws and cover :shock:

That is a cheap price for that tool Cap'n.

I can guarantee that after installing the first two replacement curtains by bainging on a die with a hammer, there is no substute for those snap tools.
