: Check your local REI. I bought two discontinued Dagger covers for $7.00 each
: from REI-outlet.com. I just checked their website and the item does not
: appear, but it might be worth a call to their customer service number.

we sell covers for freestyle canoes at the store I work at... they are made for really high end boats and are made of fleece... just to protect them from any scratching whatsoever and to keep them looking shiny. what you could do is take measurements of the girth of your boat every 12 inches or so, get a piece of cloth slightly longer then the boat "cloth of your choce" and a zipper or velcrow or some other fastener to go the leinghth of the boat. draw a center line on the cloth and leave half the girth of the boat on each side. sew on the zipper and you have a nice little boat bag. I tryed to post a pic but my web page host is down at the moment so...

hope this helps
