I can't reccomend a shop in that area, but up here in NorCal, I paid $500 for a custom fit tow cover made out of Sunbrella.
Good luck.

Just had mine done (again). If it's in your area, I highly recommend this shop:
Custom Canvas Co.
5482 Arrow Hwy.
Montclair, CA 91763
(909)981-7179
The owner is Ron Tesarski. They are very professional people and will make you an excellent boat cover.

Just remember SUNBRELLA is the secret word here my avenger came with a sunbrella cover new, that cover lasted 20yrs! I replaced it with an overtons cover after 1yr! it split at the seam!

I had Classic Canvas in La Verne (right next to the Pomona drag strip) last year. They charged me $800 for a cover everyone else wanted $1000 to $1200 for.

Take a look at the Boat Trader. There should be an ad for a place called(I think) Cal covers. I can't remember if that is correct or not. Anyhow, I've called them before. They seemed pretty cool. They will come to you and measure, etc. . I believe they said around 500ish for a towable cover for an 18'. They are in the inland Empire somewhere. They said they even travel out to the river to do jobs. I didn't end up getting mine done, but maybe someone here knows who I'm talking about and can share results. Hope this helps.

I WAS LOOKING FOR A MOORING COVER FOR MY 18 FOOTER AND A COUPLE PLACES SAID BETWEEN $500. AND $700. I HAD A LOCAL PLACE SOUTH OF BOSTON SEW TOGETHER 2 PIECES OF THE BEST MATERIAL I COULD GET(LIKE SUNBRELLA, BUT I CAN'T REMEMBER THE NAME/ VERY HIGH END) AND I INSTALLED THE SNAPS AND SEWED ALONG THE EDGES WITH MY WIFE'S REGULAR SEWING MACHINE(SPECIAL NEEDLE AND U/V RESISTANT THREAD WAS BOUGHT WITH THE MATERIAL) AND IT STILL LOOKS LIKE NEW AFTER 2 SEASONS. IT ENDED UP COSTING ME $250! IT MAKE THE BOAT LOOK THE BALLS!!
BE CAREFUL THOUGH, JUST TO MAKE THE COVER PERFECTLY EVEN ON ALL SIDES IT TOOK ME ABOUT 3 HOURS.(OF COURSE IT DIDN'T HELP THAT THERE WAS A 20 KNOTT WIND THAT DAY THAT KEPT WANTING TO BLOW THE COVER OFF EVERY 10 MINUTES! GOOD LUCK.
