I have been quoted $1,500 to $1,800 for a travel cover for my 21 foot pontoon boat. The past summer I used the mooring cover in ignorance while towing. After the 3rd or 4th trip and the education on the cost of an actual travel tarp I knowingly continued and reduced my speed to 50 miles an hour. Maximum trip was 150 miles one way. Aside from wear at the front where the trailer stops are (vertical bars at steps and winch location) I had no noticeable damage although in my mirrors the cover from the front rail down to the front deck edge was distorted badly at speed as was the first pole to the front rail
Now I have a 500 mile trip one way coming up and am wondering about any way to save the mooring tarp from wear. I got 3 super clamp type tarp straps to hold the leading edge of the tarp in place by hooking the straps to the underside of the deck. It really helps.
Any ideas appreciated.
