Hunter 356 Winter Cover

[Knotallthere]

Hi,

Looking for a winter cover for 2002 Hunter 356.

Consider buying sunbrella, grommets, twist lock fasteners and a sailrite sewing machine and sew your own with sufficient grommets to tie it off. That is what I did a number of years ago for my Hunter 31. Or, shrink wrap it. That is what I did for my Hunter 386 when I stored it out of the water for 3 years while overseas.

Thanks for the suggestions. I shrink wrap it every year but I'm now looking to buy a cover; hoping to find one for sale second hand.

Hello, anyone out there looking to unload a winter cover for a 356?

Get in touch with ShipShape Canvas in Duluth, MN

Thank you. I'm currently in the market for second-hand cover do you know if they have anything?

Ship Shape in Duluth made me a nice cover this winter for my 2002 356. I looked around for something used as well... with no luck, so I took the plunge...

The life of a canvas cover is probably about 10 years or so, if well maintained.

Probably going to be hard to find a used one, specific for your boat, in decent shape.

Not cheap, but I think I paid around $2,500 for mine at The Canvas Store in Florida. it is about 6 or 7 years old, but should make it a few more years.

I paid $2,900 and because I ordered it in the winter, I got free shipping, 400' of 1/4" line to tie it down and 2 free storage bags that look like sail bags made out of the same material...
