Hi-

I use a Perception neoporene skirt for my West River 180. No problems about the position of the tunel. I have had Whetstone make me a custom skirt for one of my s-o-f greenland boats, and it cost about the same as the Perception, but is a better skirt. It uses a rand instead of a bungee. Maybe you can ask them what they would charge for a custom job. Just send them a tracing of the cockpit rim, and indicate the size and placement of the tunnel. It might be cheaper and better than a non-custom skirt.

How do you like the West River?
