05 232 islander custom cover

[stevecoon]

wanting to buy full custom cover for my 05 232 islander. baja dealer quote is $750, anyone know where else to get one?

[bigjack232]

Overtons has gladiator sumbrella covers for the 232 at $570.00 although the year states 97 to 2000 the 232 didn't change so it would fit your 2005. Getting ready to order one myself. By the way what engine is in your's?

496 mag h.o.

the last overtons cover i bought was a p.o.s. i'd like to get the baja one but have to believe there is a lot of money going to middle men.

Never bought a cover from overtons what features made it pos. Had a sumbrella cover that came with my 97 208 and it still was in pretty good shape when I traded it last year so I figured another one would be good. What kinda speeds you seeing out of the H.O.??

[stevecoon]

don't know about speed, havn't had it in water yet. what should i expect?

as for overtons cover it wasn't custom fit so that could have been part of problem but it ripped very easily, it was marketed as self supporting which meant it had 20 ft long support poles you had to weave into it every time you put it on. just in general a pain in the a**.

The covers I was looking at are fitted to the boat and are made of sumbrella fabric which is the samething that your bow and cockpit covers are made of I am probably going to try it. My boat has the 6.2 only runs 56-60 gps my dealer has a pair of ho's brand new taken out of a 30 outlaw made me a good deal on one was wondering to go that route or a whipple on the 6.2. So few 232's with the ho havent found anybody to give me a speed yet.

what should i expect from this piece? my old boat was an 85 220 twilighter that you needed a mouthpiece to ride in but was really fast.
