Every time I bring the boat back home now covering it is quickly becoming my least favorite task as a boat owner. It takes a good hr, several mosquito bites and plenty of tugging and adjusting to get it covered. On top of that, all the debris that was previously blocked by the cover tends to fall in as I put the cover back on, not to mention the cover is mediocre at best, plenty of crevices that pollen and leaves seem to get through.
A carport is looking better and better but they aren't as cheap as I thought, mainly because I need to get one 15' high and 31' long to fit the boat.
The final dimensions for my carport will need to be 18W x 31L x 15H. The part I'm still not sure about is if I need sides and a back on the carport. Any owners out there that just has the top and is it sufficient? I park under very heavy tree cover with plenty of leaves and pollen. The sides add another $1,000 to the price and the back adds another $800.
But I would rather spend the money up front then try to save a little (or rather a lot) and end up with debris landing on the boat anyway. This looks like one of those investments I will thank myself for every time I get home.
