Glastron CVX16 boat covers
« on: August 12, 2018, 02:38:08 PM »
Does anyone know where I can get an original type boat canvas cover for my CVX16? My existing one is a really think canvas which is elasticated and has chrome hooks that clip onto the stern.

Really, does no one know of where an original type replacement cover for my CVX16 can be purchased from? Looks like an area to consider for those who do make covers. Someone must know where I can get one from? They are elasticated at the front and all round and match the shape of the CVX16 exactly...

Please help if you can, my boat is kept outside and the original cover is starting to leak. We have winter approaching here and I need to get it ready for the winter. :(

I have been happy with the Carver cover I bought for my cvz-18, and likely will purchase another for the Intimidator when it is complete.  Carver is sold through a number of outlets, just look around the net.  As for fit, I'm not an expert.  If you truly want a custom fit outdoor storage cover, you might need a cover custom made.

Mike - You can't buy an original cover...the aftermarket marketplace is where you need to go...I've had good luck with iboats in the US.  Not sure what your options are over there.

Thanks all and yes I know iboats do the original aftermarket types but they won't sell to the UK and even block all UK IP addresses from accessing their site, I emailed their CEO the other week but didn't receive a response. The one I have is probably one of the original ones or an aftermarket from such a site as Iboats. Just trying to keep everything as original type as I can and it's becoming more difficult. Still don't understand why people like Iboats won't sell to the UK, seems mad to me considering we pay an additional 50% for all items from the US over about $9. A real shame for those that just love and appreciate the Great American quality of goods, old and new!

When we leave the EU I want a great trade agreement with the US so that we can both benefit from lower taxes.
