About snap on boat covers?

My boat (91 Chapparal, 1800 Bowrider) came with a one piece top that fits great for trailering / storage.

I need to get a top for the summer when the boat is in the water because I can't have the dock lines and buoy lines under the top. . .

A couple of questions:
1. Where do you get a snap top made (the online places seem to only have one piece).
2. The boat has snaps on the front part of the windshield but no where else on the boat . . . would the snaps not have been put elsewhere for looks and if so, is there any other alternative for a top that would cover in the water?

The snaps on the windshield frame would be for the factory convertible top bimini, it only snaps to the windshield and is held taught by two straps, you probably have a ring loop on each side gunnel that goes with those windshield snaps.
Your pretty much at the mercy of a custom taylor to get what you want.

They make screw on snaps for the boat hull, and a decent upholstery shop that can make pickup bed snap covers can probably do your boat.
