Title: mooring boat cover
Post by: lizzieb on May 01, 2015, 07:45:14 am
I need to give a quote for an 18 1/2' on-board Bayliner.  Any ideas on how much I should charge? What is the best fabric to use? I have made some small on boat covers using Top gun and similar poly- coated acrylic that have snapped on. This she wants to pull on and have the elastic on the bottom. I have gotten a pdf file from Sailrite and it seems pretty straight forward. Thanks.

mooring cover covering the entire boat with strap holding iton or a cockpit cver that snaps on then snaps on the top of the windshield or covering the window? is it a bow rider ? do you need a snap on bow cover?

Nice fabric. And $75 for this looks like a fair price.

You don't mean you would charge $75.00 for that big blue cover the top boat with straps going around. Do you mean $750.00?
