Default Boat storage and trailering cover

Does anyone know of a boat cover that will cover the boat with the bimini in place (in the folded down position).
Seems there are ones for wake towers but not for biminis...just wondering on a rainy Sunday...

You will probably want a custom job.

An off-the-shelf option is to get one that is over-sized by length and width. For the length, go from bow to stern over the bimini and width gunnel to gunnel over the top. It may look a little sloppy though unless you sew it up later.

My boat cover has flaps where the bimini attaches so I can use it on the water or on the trailer. I attached short legs to the back bimini legs so I can lower the bimini so its a foot off the back of the boat when trailering. When upright I get too much sway when trailering. When the bimini is off the flaps velcro down on to the boat cover. You could probably buy a fitted cover and then have it modified by a local shop.

Thanks for the replies!
I picked up an "off the shelf" Taylor Made cover at West Marine in Seabrook...we're going to try it and see if we can make it work over the bimini then go from there. We bought one that's a size too big hoping we can cover the boat and cinch up the shock cords to make a tight enough fit to trailer with the cover in place.
West Marine said no problem returning it for 30 days for a full refund.
