What Boat Cover Fits My 16-Foot 1988 Campion 165 Fishing Machine with 70-Inch Beam Width?

Yes! For a great cover for your 1988 Campion 165 Fishing Machine, I recommend the Classic Accessories DryGuard Waterproof Boat Cover - 14' to 16' Long # CA20083. Not only is this cover completely waterproof, it comes with 2 rear air vents to prevent lofting and billowing during transport. Another bonus is that it comes with a 5-year warranty. This cover is designed to fit your 16-foot boat with a beam with of 70 inches wide.

Thank you so much for the picture and clarification! I went ahead and reached out to our boat cover manufacturers, and they confirmed that you need a bit of extra cover length/width for your center console on your fishing boat. They also said that it is important to note that, in the original 16-foot measurement, that measurement should be a straight line from the front point of the bow to the back point of the stern. There should not be any measurement that includes going "up and over" the console.

With that being said, the absolute best option is the Taylor Made BoatGuard Center Console Boat Cover - 17' to 19' Long Boats # 36970211. This cover is bigger than the # CA20083, but you will be able to tighten the cover with extra space.
