Any recommendations for covers for a 1992 Mariah Shabah 212? I just bought the boat and it didn't come with a cover.

IMO don't bother to look further than RNR marine and a Westland cover in Sunbrella fabric even though it costs a little more than other options. RNR might be the best price you will find on that cover if you search all day.

I tried a few different lower cost covers over the years and this is the best IMO. Sunbrella breathes but lets very little water under and mine stays almost 100% dry. Coming up with some sort support poles or maybe getting theirs might be a good idea. I did my own thing.

At first I was disappointed mine didn't seem to reach the stern like I thought it should when new but the padding for the bow cleats and windshield was spot on. In the aft the padding now comes closer to perfect at the cleats but there is a pad for the ladder that isn't right but no big deal.

Best cover I have owned and highly recommend. Most anything else is far inferior.

For the winter when I'm sure it has dried out I put a cheap sheet of plastic over it then a tarp to make it waterproof and more or less protect the expensive cover. Once I use the boat again the plastic may go in the trash or save for next winter if in good shape.

My boat has to set outside more or less in the shade but not under a roof and still looks great inside.
