You might be able to buy one from Gwen at Above Board Covers. She works out of John Spaeth's shop. I bought a Shoremaster cover for my Virage back in 1993. It was a good fit, except for the motor part of the cover.

I think that if you are going to want something to fit nice and keep rain out without macgyvering it you are going to have to go custom. Otherwise you are looking at a "fish and ski" for an 18 foot boat from Canadian Tire that fits like a turd.

I have had two of the Covers made by Gwen that David mentioned. Though they look great and fit perfect, they are not water proof, and they lose threads like a shedding dog.
I don't think I would chase one down had they not come with my boats...

My 2 cents.

Gwen will make the cover out of whatever fabric you choose. Generally a non waterproof fabric is chosen to allow the boat to breath. You need a post so the water will drain off. We bought one of her covers for my brother's Charger and it has held up well.

My new Ally cover will probably last forever, but it doesn't seem to breath as well.
