Best Boat Cover?

[hiker270]

I am thinking about purchasing a new cover. I prefer to trailer my boat with the cover on. What are your favorites? Thanks

Re: Best Boat Cover?

if you want a perfect fit, it will have to be custom. all the aftermarkets are built around the type of boat, not a specific model or year.

Re: Best Boat Cover?

I make my own covers. For my 24' boat I have two covers, one that covers the entire boat while it sits in my driveway and a snap-on towing cover that covers the cockpit and windshield.

Both covers are made with Sunbrella and are custom fit to the boat. The cover that I use to store my boat in the driveway can also be used for towing with more protective reinforcements around the windshield, cleats...etc.

The reason I like to tow with the snap-on cover is that is a lot smaller when I take it off and more manageable to stow. It also presents a lot less wind drag because it doesn't go up over the bow rails.
