Looking to buy a winter cover a 1993 seafarer 228G with a Hard top and bow pulpit. I have seen a few listed by empire covers that say they fit a seafarer but do not mention the bow pulpit. Anyone suggestions or recommendations; Thanks

If you look at post #9 of the other thread, you'll see a picture of Don's boat which has a bow pulpit on it. Both your boat being 1993 as well as his year of boat as a 1999 have the same part number on both the Budge as well as Empire Covers websites, making me assume they use the same cover for all or most years of 228 Seafarers. The dimensions for the different years of boats themselves are also the same, or very similar, of which again I'd have to assume if it will cover the bow pulpit and transom bracket on Don's boat then it'll do the same for yours as well.

I have a carver over the hard top cover on my 270. fit seems to be the same as KY's Grady... I found the radar dome pulled the sides up too high and there was too much fabric at the transom and it hung down, I think the fit would have been better without radar.

I've heard Fisher boat covers fit the entire boat (they have made them custom to fit many boats over the years), could give them a shout and get info.

Those pictures were pre-radar,,, it may pull up on the sides high also. For now, she lives indoors when not being used, so I don't need to cover.
