175 sp vs 175 spc

[Craig Myler]

I'm looking to purchase a cockpit cover for my 2007 175 SP, part number 1690255. I've found a cover for a 2007 175 SPC (part number 1759624) and am concerned about fit. Any help?

I suspect the confusion is due to fly-by-night online companies not knowing what they are talking about. First, there is no such thing as a 175 "SPC" model. Secondly, that part number is for an '04 180 Sport model.

Keep in mind, you'll need to install the snaps on the cover to match the boat - the tool to do that is not inexpensive (although it's a very good tool). All of the other tools are worthless. You might be better off just having a local upholster make it for you.

I don't currently have any snaps on the boat so I have to add them anyways. If the cover would fit with the bimini etc. It would be fine. The company lowered the price a good bit.

No idea if it will fit. If it's an aftermarket bimini on your boat, it's even more of a gamble. Doess the cover you're looking at have the cutouts for a bimini? A bimini was an option so there were two covers - one with and one without cutouts.

A local shop may be the best route.
