Looking for a Center Console Cover

Hi Guys,

Been reading the board for a while and finally decided to pull the trigger on a 20 SF from another forum member. Absolutely love the boat. I had it hauled up this weekend to Cape Cod from central Florida arriving totally original and in amazingly great shape. Transom and deck are still good, motor is 150 Merc that looks and runs like it has about 100 hours on it. The the gel coat on this boat looks better than a lot of boats in my marina that are 25 years newer! The boat was trailered to lakes in central Florida for it's entire life and has never seen salt water to my knowledge so I think that has a lot to do with it. BTW - The seller is a top notch guy. Pretty sure without Classic Seacraft.com I wouldnt have found as good a boat for the money so bravo to you guys and this site!

Now I just need need a few accessories and Im hoping I can lean on you guys for some good advice. First order of business is a console cover. Anyone know where I can get a good one for an original 75 SF console ASAP?

Here are a few other things Im thinking about:
* Fresh water wash down
* T-Top
* Ping pong ball scuppers
* gel coat help to fill in some very minor nicks and color match a couple of spots that were previously fixed but the color doesn't quite match exactly
* Lettering

The console cover is obviously the first thing I need but inputs on any of this stuff would be great. Happy to share what ever I can if anyone has any questions about my boat it's pretty much totally original except for the wind visor and a bimini top. Cheers!

Looks like you are from Cape Cod area, any good canvas shop can make you a cover.
Gelcoat ages and matures (fades) over time you will have to mix and match it.
Any sign shop can make vinyl lettering, even matching original SeaCraft stuff, you can also get some original SeaCraft stuff through some members on the site.
Congradulations on your new purchase and good luck!!!

Hi I'm a canvas guy myself so natualy I'd say a custom fit cover is your best bet But I would suggest you get the t top first as the cover should be fit different having one or not The t top shop may be able to make you a console cover at the same time for a better cost

There are a lot of options out there. As an example here's one on eBay that will get you by for a long time until you are ready to spend "real money" on a t-top and custom cover.

This looks like it may do the trick for now. I certainly dont want to spend on a custom cover only to find out I need a new one for the T Top. How can I know if it will fit? Im In Boston until the weekend and the boat is on Cape Cod so I wont actually be able to measure it until Friday night.
