boat cover for a CD25

Because of drought conditions I have had to pull C-Pearl from a covered slip at the lake or run the risk of not being able to take it out when I'm ready to travel. I am trying to find a boat cover on line that would fit my boat and have not had much luck. I don't really want to build a shrine for the boat in these hopefully temporary conditions. Has anyone had any luck finding a good fitting cover for a 25 with radar arch?

P.J's or J.P's canvas in Crystal River Florida, has all the patterns for the C-Dory. He is the best I have seen. Beats King Canvas. His travel boot is really good for traveling. Keeps all the leaves and rain out of the cockpit. If you can't find him let me know , my wife has his number.

I am going to have him do some things for the Mis Dee. Like screens and a travel boot.

I would really suggest a custom Sumbrella cover. Agree that you should be able to do better than King. We are disappointed in our King bimini and side curtains--as well as it abraded on the trip out and I will have to have the Bimini front pannel replaced (rolled up and out of the slip stream in the boot--seems like sub standard material--and the edges of the boot cover frayed. The Problem is that each C Dory is different with the radar arches and various rod holders etc--all points of chafe which should be properly protected. Not cheap--but in the long run will pay for reduced maintance and increased value. I don't know of any cover I would trailer the boat with.

Another option is the portable steel frame shelters.
