Purchased 2002 Chaparral Sunesta 243
I need a trailer, yes it did not come with one. Looking for one I’m in ALT, GA anyone have model / dImensions needed?

Need a cover remade or place to purchase OEM cover? It’s in a wet slip covered but still want to have seats and everything else covered like when it was new.

Looks like original carpet is gone need quick alternative to what was there? Kid friendly please.

For the trailer, I would call Chap 1st to see if they have any recommendations. No matter which trailer you get it will have to be fitted to your hull. Also you an ask them about your cockpit cover. Is your carpet glued in, or does it snap in?

No carpet in it just buttons on the floor.

I used SnapinCarpet.com (AKA Custom Marine Carpet LLC) for a custom fit carpet. They can help you with the templates for proper fit, and a kit for placing the snaps where you want them (you'll need to do that yourself unless you can find a local place that will do that part for you). They also have adhesive coverings for other areas in your boat that you probably wouldn't put carpeting (something to cover the fiberglass walkways or swim platform, for example).

There was a discussion about where to find bimini tops that fit Sunesta models. It looks like a supplier that has a very extensive inventory. If I find it before someone else does, I'll get that to you.

If by 'cover' you mean a tonneau style for keep dust out, or trailering, you'll probably have to find a local custom boat interior shop that uses a high quality fabric such as Sunbrella. I would make sure that they provide snaps to fit the poles that will help hold up the middle of the cover to keep rain water from puddling, and eventually stretching the fabric

No I just need the cover the came with boat brand new. Just covers front seating area and rear area. There are buttons all around the exterior of boat where it allegedly fit before. Doesn’t cover entire boat just seating and main cabin area. Fits very tight from what pictures I can tell.
 
Almost any boat trailer in the 25 foot range would work. As Denny pointed out, it needs to have the bunk or rollers adjusted to fit the boat and the boat balanced to the trailer.

As to the carpet, I removed mine due to mildew and smell from being wet. But thats me..............
