I bet you can't get a quote much under Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gnasher Posted August 31, 2005 Report Share Posted August 31, 2005 ask them at Blue Peter, they might have one that they made earlier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam F Posted September 1, 2005 Report Share Posted September 1, 2005 Mike is right - keeping th cost down is tricky for this type of item. Flexicovers in Poole are worth a try. www.flexicovers.co.uk AF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newboy Posted September 1, 2005 Report Share Posted September 1, 2005 The most difficult part would be the frame which you can build fairly easily with alu or s/s tubes. Then if you work out the measurement, any seamstress would make the cover out of waterproof material. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted September 1, 2005 Report Share Posted September 1, 2005 If you can get a quote from Flexicovers, you're doing better than me. Twice I've enquired via their website, first time about 12 months ago, and again about 2 months ago, haven't heard a thing, not even a "Thanks for your enquiry".

That's nothing mate I'm still waiting for them to responed to an enquiry I made 5 years and two boats ago. Mad Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam F Posted September 2, 2005 Report Share Posted September 2, 2005 Same here - nothing heard from there website - trying ringing them it provokes a better response! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
great white Posted September 3, 2005 Report Share Posted September 3, 2005 I will pass on your comments to the owner of the company when I see him on his boat at Parkstone next week. I am sure he may get people to check more regularly. Charlie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
