I have an '89 Saltare which I have a full cover that goes overtop and ties off on the trailer. With a couple posts on it this keeps it dry inside when it rains, as it sits outside unfortunately (for now, want to either find storage for over the winter or get a "portable garage").
Before mid summer next season I want to get a cover that will work well with the boat in the water. I stay on a lake in Maine for a week or two every summer and need to be able to cover the boat. I've always had snap on covers, which were already installed on my previous boats. Was thinking about the best way to do it on the Saltare. Was thinking about a full snap cover with snaps just under the rub rail. Just thought of an issue with that looking at the boat today, is that would cover the cleats. I'll normally have a mooring available to use the bow eye any time it'll stay in the water, but if I get stuck typing up at a dock I want to be sure it'll be covered nicely. Any thoughts? Anyone have a snap cover? How did you do it? Any pictures? Going to try a local shop for some upholstery I need done and talk to them about a cover when I do that. Also any idea on ballpark cost so I know if they're in line or too expensive?
