Default Boat cover advice

I am wanting to order a new Sunbrella full mooring cover for my 2001 Z275ST with the walk-thru, cuddy/open bow. I have looked at several websites and none have my exact model listed. I know they used the same hull on different models. Any ideas if a Shabah Z275 or Z272 would be a close fit? I don't have a good, custom canvas shop in my area.

    I was in the same boat (how ironic) for my 2001 Z222 a month ago. I looked online and there were very few places that actually listed my boat. And the ones that did were pretty costly. I had ordered one that had my boat listed and when it did show up (4 weeks later), I did not care for the fit and returned it. I eneded up taking my boat about 50 miles to a canvas shop and had one custom made. I thought they were very reasonable at $35 per foot of boat. Additionally they paid attention to detail adding the reinforcment to specific areas and outlining the swim platform ladder.
    Moral of story is if you dont have a local shop, driving the boat a few more miles to a custom shop may be worth the price of gas as opposed to ordering something online that you will not be happy with.

    Good Luck
