Does anyone know where I can purchase one of these winter enclosures?
Hopefully this link works:

Any marine canvas company can probably produce one for you but when I put it in Google I got these guys who seem like specialty trojan covers.

Any good quality marine canvas company could make a cover. I don't think these Chicago guys are trojan specialists by any means - just did a few jobs on Trojans. If you look at the bottom right of their web page you can see links to custom pages for 19 different boat brands, all of which say pretty much the same thing - just on the context of each manufacturer's boats.

Their 'Recent Projects' link will give a better indication of their work, but always ask around. If you see someone whose canvas looks like a particularly nice job, find out who did it for them and how happy they are with the work and timeline.

Also there is a slight chance someone on the forum may have an old cover they don't use, but odds are it won't be a perfect fit and fasteners (if you have any on your boat already) will likely be in the wrong position.

Based on the photo you posted, you are looking for a cockpit cover, not a bimini.
