I have a 03 ProCraft Pro 185. I would like to have a good boat cover made. Is there any place around the Kansas City area that does a nice job and reasonable price? If not who would you recommend? Are there any individuals around that does that kind of work? Thanks for your help.
only 2 that i know that i have seen their work on are both located in the St Louis area and thats Aurora which are.....ok but i wouldtn want it on my rig....or Kens Custom Covers.....which i have and i like it very much very well made cover but not as cheap $$ wise than Aurora but if you want i can get you their phine number tonight
Thanks Luke. I really want someone fairly close though. Delivering it for measuring and then going back to pick up gets pretty costly now with the price of gas. I know of a couple here but was just checking if anyone had other ideas. Yea, I am looking for something of a better fit than the Aurora covers. Do you pull your boat with cover on? I have heard it is hard on the cover, gelcoat and really cuts down gas mailage.

I've had 2 boats with Aurora covers
Bob, Did you just order on Internet and select a standard size or did you take your boat somewhere to have it measured? Was it a trailerable cover? What do you think about pulling your boat with cover on?
You can......aurora has patterns for some (not all) bass boats and can do Custom work too!
I also have a Custom cover for my boat and is Great!

I just ordered a travel cover from Aurora. It is to be shipped on the 25th.
I'll let you know what I think when it gets here.

i dont pull the boat with mine on unless i have to like if its raining or something
it can scratch the clear on the gel some but nothing a buffer wont take out but i just dont like to pull with it on but i will if i have to
I have an Aurora and it is one well built heavy duty cover. It trailers really well, but the downside from being pretty heavy duty is it's heavy and cumbersome to take on and off.

I rarely trailer with the cover on anymore. I did it once from NY to KS with a 97 Stratos I owned and one of the straps rubbed a spot right through the Gel Coat. I did order over the phone simply by giving them my boat make and model. Since I went to Ranger in 2000 my last two boats have had the Ranger covers and they fit better than any I've had.
