Re: Boat covers

Don - I called Gary at Boatmans and he was a big help and he remembered you. He called me back and gave me his Tan Flannel supplier - a company named Trivantage. They actually had a facility in Glen Raven, NC and I received the 8 oz Tan Flannel (PT# 710002) in two days. Again, many thanks. dave tuttle
