Need cover for 1985 eluder

I have an 82' Eluder and have the one from Walmart . I is listed as a towable cover , which i never do . It fits pretty good . I went to Lowe's and bought 12 tarp hooks and added them to the trailer for tie down points and after fitting it took the bottom straps that go to the trailer hooks and shortened them and sewed loops in them . This way there is no spare strap hanging around . I also got a piece of 1" pipe insulation for the top of the windsheild to help keep the cover from tearing on the edges . The rear portion fits good and water will drain off of it . I added a cheap 30 or 36" Beachball on top if the cooler under the cover to aid the runoff of water in the bow . Works pretty good .
 
I have custom bow and cockpit covers for mine and they are great, keeps the interior clean and dry and easy and fast to put on or take off, I also have a custom full cover that I use if the boats not in the water, they are pricey but work really good.

Where did you buy the custom full cover from and how much was it?
