Boat cover

[Eric1687]

I have a 01 ssv looking for a new boat cover that covers swim deck anyone know of any reasonable priced covers around ?

Had mine custom made for 1200. They beefed it up a lot due to the amount I tow per season. Was going to get it from BOAT COVERS DIRECT (http://www.boatcoversdirect.com/products/boat_covers/SUPRA_444/LAUNCH_W-_3_LEG_TOWER_W-_SWPF_21193/)but didn't know how well it would stand up to towing. Went with a local shop and haven't looked back!

Local guy here does them. Paid just over $500 for the one for my salt (23' with poles, snaps, and a cinch rope)

He is located in NE indiana. For sunbrella fabric it is about 120 more.

I would go local for that have it custom made. The semi custom ones aren't perfect fit. You'll be much happier having a guy locally do it so it fits perfectly to your boat

Skiboatcovers.com was the only online vendor I could find that actually had a custom-made template and not a "fits boats like your boat" generic fit.

They were half the price of my local guys for sunbrella, gore thread, etc.

Please don't have a local/custom shop drill holes in the boat for snaps. That is one of my biggest pet peeves in the world.

As dumb as it sounds - not having snaps was a huge selling point for me with our new boat - hate those damn things.

I found one @ buymarinecovers.com that didn't look too bad says it will fit my year and style boat haven't called them yet though. Also found one at skiboatcovers.com but it's pretty expensive.

Get a carport and a cheap cover. It is really good to be able to air the boat out after use and keep the condensation down.

I recently just bought a fan with a 8 hour timer to put in boat to air out after a day I leave it in a marina.
