this boat tarp

[jack7771]

Does anyone recognize the brand of this boat tarp:

It came with the boat when I got it 4 years ago, and the label is too faded to
tell the make or the size.

It needs to be replaced, and I'd like to get another just like it because I can prop it up as you see, and that way the rain
and snow is not a problem. If I knew the maker, then perhaps I might be able to figure out which model/size this one is.

It looks like one of the walmart ones to me. a harbor master something or other brand. I used to use them years ago.

Did it have strap connectors like this:

I'll bet it does.
The upper straps are missing.
The OPs photo shows the small black strap holders sewn into the top of the cover that are used to position the straps that go over the top of the cover.
This looks like the generic/Universal cover that is available just about anywhere.
I have one and they work just fine.
It also looks to be a size too large as the cover reaches all the way over the winch post.

A proper fit with the top straps on, would look like this.



Search for Universal Boat covers, Seachoice, Covermate.

I purchased the same one from Ebay last year.....

I purchased a vent for it.... I also have it strapped like the Op's pic.

Okay, so who is the maker?

As noted in the original post, I don't want a fit like that because I want the extra room to jack it up as pictured. That's a main reason for wanting to determine who is the maker, so I can find one that will work for me like the one pictured.

Re: this boat tarp

I just bought this one... Amazon.com: VORTEX HEAVY DUTY VHULL FISH SKI RUNABOUT COVER FOR 17 18 19' BOAT, BEST AVAILABLE COVER BLUE: Sports & Outdoors

Its way thicker than my old wally world one. I use a 6' step ladder in the boat to form a canopy and it fits just fine.

There is no reason that you could not prop it up like you do now.

A couple of inches of slack in the bottom straps would allow you to push the center of the cover up a couple of feet easily.
The top straps do not make the cover any less wide, they just take the load off the fabric.
Your current cover is over-sized for the boat, it is too long and too wide; but, just the way you want it.
Get a universal cover that is sized for a boat larger than what you have and you will be happy.

When I got mine from ebay, it was from these guys Low Price RV Covers, Boat Covers, Boat Biminis | SafeGuard Covers

Re: this boat tarp

The cover I bought for my Procraft is made by Dallas Manufacturing company. It has the same connectors and rear vents that yours does. Only difference is the color. Mine's the blue 600 denier polyester, but they also make a grey 300 denier polyester one as well. The price for mine was under $100.

Re: this boat tarp

I bought one from Walmart that is for a 23' boat (my boat is a 20') I like the fact that the cover goes over my winch due to the fact that it keeps UV rays off of my winch strap! The cover also goes over the top of my outboard engine AND allows great ventilation !

Re: this boat tarp

I've got another picture -- this is the underneath part at the bow -- does it look like that:

The softer backing is also under the back corners.

Re: this boat tarp

That's what my Safeguard one looks like.

Is that a Harbor Master from Walmart? I'm wondering if mine is a 23' tarp also. My boat is 20' and you can see in the photo that the tarp covers the winch.

Re: this boat tarp

That's what my Safeguard one looks like.

That is also what my Covermate looks like.
Soft under liner, Same connectors, 600 denier Grey fabric, Elastic edge band.

It looks like all of these are generic imports and re-Branded by the various distributors into their house Brands to appear to be different.

Does yours have the padded liner sections in the bow and rear corners like I've pictured above?

Re: this boat tarp

I am not sure I would call it "padding" , but there is reinforcing at the three corners.... I can say this about it, I have used it for three years now and it still does the job just fine. It has survived snow, rain , sun , and hurricane Sandy ! While I am not going to claim it is "the best available" , I will say it is a good one for the $$.
