Default What are the original Mariah Covers made out of?

I'm getting ready to make myself a new boat cover and I'm wondering what my original cover was made out of, especially since it lasted so long. I read in a search on this forum that they were made out of Sunbrella, but mine really doesn't look like Sunbrella to me.

    This is a quote right from the '96 brochure: "All Mariah boats can be complemented by color matched "Pre-Fixx" canvas and Sunbrella travel covers hand sown with Goretex thread which provides you with a "Goretex" limited lifetime warranty against stitching failure".

    I did have a look at my original travel cover but i dont see anything indicating what its made of.

    Mine doesn't say either, but I thought Sunbrella is the same on both sides. Mine almost looks like a green vinyl on the outside and a white canvas on the inside. I'm no expert on Sunbrella, so maybe I'm just wrong about it.

    Yours is different than mine then. Mine is solid one piece material and i'm inclined to think mine is Sunbrella.

    You're right. Mine is a lot different than that. But it has factory Mariah tags on it.

    Thanks RNR Marine but I already have a mooring cover. I'm needing a new cockpit/bow cover since my boat stays docked much of the year.

    No problem. All Mariah canvas was Sunbrella.

    Actually, the Original OEM canvas was NOT sunbrella.

    It was Nautolex Prefixx vinyl for all the models except (182, 183, & 202)
    ColoradoDiablo and allz28 like this.
