Default Boat cover help

Looking to buy a new boat cover & since I value your opinions ( most of
them anyway ), I'm looking for suggestions on what to buy or what not
to buy. It must be trailerable & hopefullly use it for winter storage
outside.


A custom cover is the only way to go. I've had two done so far and they're
the greatest. Sure, you might spend a little more, but then the cover is
exactly the way YOU want it. I had mine reinforced over the tops of the
windshield, a special pocket made for the trolling motor, reinforcements
over the cleats, velcroed cutouts so I can run an extension cord for the
onboard charger, or add fuel or oil without removing the cover.

I had mine made locally and it held up to trailering at speeds in excess of
80 mph. Then, there were two extendable "tent-poles" that went under the
cover to tent snow, ice and water off.

Pricey? Yes! Worth it? HECK YEAH!!!
