boat snap on covers

[Jimwhall]

Specifically, the cover for the bow and separate cover for the passenger area (though they zip together). Are these nearly impossible to find? When I look on the internet all I see are generic boat covers? Looking for my '16 H190

You'll have to take your boat to an upholstery shop and have one made.

As someone who fixes boats, but doesn't own one, I suggest a single piece cover with ratchet straps to tighten the sides.

Snaps get smashed, pull through the cover, and are likely places for gel cracking.

Some really popular boats have their custom covers stocked by Overtons and some others. Other than that, make one yourself or have a shop make one.

Find a local company and have it made. Shouldn’t be terribly expensive.
I just had this replacement bimini top made from Sunbrella and it cost $370.
All the other covers you see in this image are 20 years old- and they live outside year-round.

Like everything else, what are you going to do with it and how long do you expect it to last ? Water tight or just to keep debris out ? Just keeping debris out and most of the water, then an over the counter general purpose will work. You will need to add extra support to keep the cover tight and will not last long if trailered. To get a good, trailerable cover that sheds water and will last, requires a custom made to fit for your boat cover. Yes they are expensive but they work and they last. The last custom cover I had made was made from convert able car top material, looked like new after 10 years when I sold the boat. Never leaked a drop, trailered all over, but kept clean and maintained. Expensive yes, but well worth the cost as I got my money back when I sold the boat. You will get what you pay for !!

Original factory snap-on covers for a 2016 H190 are not generic and can be difficult to find; your best bet is to order them directly from your local Four Winns dealer.

Thanks everyone.
As to the use, I'll admit it's 1/3 vanity 2/3 usefulness.

The boat spends the summers in my garage and the winters with the snap on covers under a professional shrink wrapping job (after she's been cleaned and dried out).

I love the look of them and they do a nice job keeping junk out if I trailer it any distance beyond the lake.

Also check out local canvas shops to have a custom fit cover made.

if your original canvas was done by great lakes boat top or Dowco, they can make you replacements

if you dont want to go that route, see your local canvas shop

Look around and see if you gave some old car collecters and reconstruction clubs in tour area. Often these guys do there own upholstery, overhead trims etc. They often do boat covers in the side to stay busy as it takes the same equipment to do both. I gave had a couple made by these guys over the years, nice job and a better price than a " boat" shop !!
