I got mine from Ebay the other week Ben,VERY GOOD quality,is towable they say.I went the size bigger so I can store it with the Bimini up.
MUCH thicker material than the BCF version.

Ben,
I made up my cover from a used but still reasonable condition truck side curtain - super heavy canvas.

It takes a hiding. Has a drawstring all around and plenty of ties down to the trailer. One benefit is that the bush tinnie has nothing higher than the gunnels except the outboard. Consoles etc will lead to hassles! You want it to be tight so it doesnt fill with air and billow.

If you going to take it off road all the commercial ones I have seen will tear at the first sign of a bush track. Perhaps have a yarn to a friendly swag maker/canvas shop/saddler type place.

How is the trailer going?
