I have been looking for a replacement cover since I added the optional bow rail to my 1976 Sport 15 and I have not yet had success.

The cover I originally had was a Mills mooring cover (original one from 1976; version for Sport 15 without bow rail option)...a fantastic cover.

Since adding the bow rail I first tried Specialty Marine (they have a version for the "classic 15 with bow rail"). I spoke to them about this cover and they indicated this was for either the Super Sport 15 with wrap around style bow/side rail or the Sport 15 with optional bow rail...it didn't fit and I returned it. SM indicated during the return process this was a defect and was being corrected by the manufacturer. I haven't re-ordered as I really wasn't excited about the quality compared to the Mills cover but the price was certainly right of course.

I next called Carver and their cover designed for the 15 with bow rail will not fit as it's designed for the Super Sport 15 with the wrap-around version of the bow rail.

So this leads me back to the Mills cover which I confirmed directly with them it will definitely fit...but it's a $1000 and I can't bring myself to lay out that kind of cash since I store my boat in the garage and would only use the cover for trips to the beach, etc. That said if I were to store the boat outside of my garage there is no question I would get the Mills...the quality is unmatchable (after cleaning it and re-waterproofing it my 1976 Mills mooring cover looked near new after 40 years which is amazing).
