I need a cover for a 76' eliminator bubble deck 18.5 foot. Anybody know anyone with one? or someone who would make one? or who sells one that would fit?

A custom cover will be well over 1000 bucks. Well worth it though.

I paid 880 for mine and it's rope tight around the entire border 12" down the side of the boat as well as 8 straps reinforced at all seats, open bow and windshields ...oh and engine hatch head rest and transom handles and Bimini.

Had a new cover made by Custom Canvas in Montclair for the Hondo last year.  Very happy with the quality & fit.  Paid just under $1000 with rope tie downs.

They can do all kinds of tie down options, colors, stripes...  Each add on just adds to the final price.

Damn, you guys are ballers!  I got mine at Pepboys for about $50 and it works great!  Not a custom cover by any means but it covers the boat well.

I got a custom one with the boat and have a heavy duty trap over the cover. Probably should get a cheap eBay one. I do it to save the custom one. My dad and all out friends do the same thing. Nice custom fitted cover for the day to day and then when in storage cover the custom with a cheapo cover that will fall apart every 2-5 years.

My opinion custom covers are for people that have F**k you money as in don't have a better place to throw a 1000 bucks away to or for people who just have their boat 100% and it's been running 100% for a season or more. Nothing wrong with a custco ebay Walmart etc. boat cover with a little tarp over it lol. Poor man's way out against bad weather.

I don't think I have money to just throw away I think if you really care about your boat and want it to last and into keeping your stuff nice why not spend the $$ on a bad ass cover to protect your boat. The $$ you spend on a really good cover will out last the shitty covers and tarps not to mention the covers are 1/4 of the cost of new wood and interior. But that's just my opinion and you know what they say about opinions. There like ass holes everyone has them some are just shittier then others!!

Walmart...60 bucks in grey. I use a grey tarp on top of the walmart one to allow it to breath but keep the pollution off / eliminate mildew while stored. If you have a nice cover and want it to last keep a tarp over your cover. A 10 x 20 runs about 20-30 bucks at harbor freight and I replace that one twice a year.

I bought one at pep boys for now. It actually fits pretty decent. And I put a tarp over it. Until I can come up with the cash to buy the custom fit.
