They are FlyHigh Pro X series 350's in the optional black color. Pretty cool but Im worried laying out in the sun they are going to be really HOT to step on. :shock:

I have the same boat cover. I made cutouts and pole cutouts etc. Its custom now. You can take it to a shop and they can make it fit perfect for around a hundred bucks. Nice bags. Exciting stuff.

SI does your cover have snaps or did you rig the pull cord to go around the tower poles.

Hey SALTARE INVERTS, Tell me more..good idea! Can you download some close up pic's of yours? Did you cut then take it and say, sew here? Or did you draw on it and have them do it? I'll tell you one thing I paid a $119 for this cover at Academy Sports and Its ever as bit as good as some of the $300-$600 covers that I've had. Jet

I'm curious about the cover too. I'm thinking about doing the same thing. I've been eyeing covers at Bass Pro and Academy.

Jet, do you have a better pic of the cover? How does it fit the low profile comp? Mine, $120 also, seems to be made for something more like a SunSport, would love a better fit at that price point.......

Okie I use the academy one and it covers everything including the swim platform. I have an 86 sunsport. I did have to build a pole for the rear to not trap water. Its sturdy, towable, and vented. Can't beat it for the price.

Saltare, I've got the largest one academy had and it's just enough for my sunsport. I think it'd be enough for your hull, but wouldn't get the platform.

I did mine myself. I cut it to go around the tower and sewed on velcro. I also put in the drawstring. To makes sure it drained water I cut out and sewed in two cups. I then made poles out of electrical conduit and put rubber stops on the ends. It holds out water and is tight for trailering. I think it looks custom.

Saltare, everything about your boat looks just awesome. Kudos, sir.

Great pics and great job on the cover. Thanks for the detailed pics on how you did the canvas between the tower.

How do the drawstrings work around the tower. Do you have to rethread it each time you put it on? I don't have a tower yet and was wondering what I would do about my factorycover when I get a tower. Yours looks great.

No picture. But it fits fine except where it hits the tower, so Im wanting to customize it somehow. I'll let you know. Jet
