How it works
From your driveway to a custom cover
Your phone capture starts the process. Our cover team takes it from there.
-
Download the app
Get the Straightline Canvas app on your phone. It guides you through a simple capture of your boat — no measuring tape, no templates, no guesswork.
-
Walk around your boat
With your boat parked and rigged the way you keep it, walk a slow lap with your smartphone. The guided capture records every detail — trolling motor, consoles, seats, and all.
-
Upload to Straightline
Send your capture to our system right from the app. Our cover team reviews every upload and uses your boat’s real shape to design the cover in CAD.
-
Get your custom cover
We cut and sew your cover in our shop with the same laser-precision, automated-cutting process we use for boat manufacturers — then ship it to you.
Built for bass boats
Your rig isn’t generic. Your cover shouldn’t be either.
Fiberglass bass boats and tournament rigs carry details that off-the-shelf covers ignore: trolling motors, single and dual consoles, graphs and electronics, butt seats, outboards, and jack plates. A generic cover bridges over some of it, bunches around the rest, and leaves gaps where weather gets in.
The Straightline process is built around your real boat. Your walkaround capture shows us exactly where every accessory sits, so the cover we design fits over and around them — the way a factory cover would, because that’s what we build for boat manufacturers every day.

Real results
Scanned by phone. Built in our shop. Shipped to their door.
See it for yourself: a walkaround of a finished cover built from a 3D scan, and photos straight from a customer of the cover we mailed them — made from the scan they uploaded.
Not just bass boats
Any boat. Anywhere in the world.
While this process was developed with bass boats in mind, the app workflow isn’t limited to them. Runabouts, wake boats, ski boats, pontoons, tritoons, multi-species rigs, jon boats, cruisers — if you can walk around it with your phone, our team can build a cover for it.
And you don’t need to be near Springfield, MO or Table Rock Lake. For decades, a true custom cover meant bringing the boat to the shop. Now the shop comes to you: capture your boat wherever it sits, upload it, and we build your cover here in Missouri and ship it to you.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
Is this only for bass boats?
No. Bass boats — especially fiberglass bass boats and tournament rigs — are our specialty and where the process shines, but the same app workflow works for nearly any boat you can walk around. Any boat, anywhere in the world.
Do I need special equipment?
You need an iPhone 15 Pro or newer — it must be a Pro model, because the capture relies on the LiDAR sensor those phones carry. Beyond that, just your boat and a few minutes to walk around it. The app guides you through the rest.
What happens after I upload?
Your capture lands in our system, where our cover team reviews it. We use your boat’s real shape to design the cover in CAD, then cut and sew it in our Missouri shop with our automated cutting process. This isn’t an instant, untouched pipeline — experienced cover builders check every upload before anything gets built.
Can I use this if I’m not in Missouri?
Yes — that’s the point. You no longer need to bring your boat to Springfield or Table Rock Lake for a true custom fit. Capture your boat wherever it is, upload it, and we’ll build your cover here and ship it to you.
What if my boat has a trolling motor, dual consoles, electronics, or other accessories?
That’s exactly what this process is built for. Your walkaround capture records your boat as it actually sits — trolling motor, consoles, graphs, seats, outboard, jack plate and all — so the cover is designed around those details instead of ignoring them.
