I moved the boat out of dry stack storage into an uncovered slip at our new water crib a few weeks ago. I didnt like the idea of the boat getting hammered by the sun. The best option I could come up with was a custom cover with a skirt.

The canvas man operates out of a pull behind trailer with all of the equipment in it to do the job. I am happy with the results. The cover is secured by buttons placed in the rub rail by removing every three screws and replacing it with a screw with a button head. the cover is tented up with 4 adjustable poles. Its going to take trial and error to find the best to get the cover on the boat. It should do a good job of keeping it dry and out of the sun.

Very nice. How much?

That's a pretty sweet setup! Do you need any special ventilation underneath to keep it on the dry side?

thanks, Its going to be around 12 large, give or take $50. I have not seen the final invoice yet.

Its not supposed to need any ventilation. Sunbrella material is supposed to be breathable.

Looks good, hope it does the trick for ya!

That is great. That is exact setup I have been contemplating. I am too cheap to pay the premium for a covered slip, but would want to keep the sun off the boat and up on lift. Very nice.

Man, I like that. I don't have a slip,just a trailer. Every time I look at the boat, I think, there has to be a way to cover up the lower half...gives me a few more ideas...
That guy did a great job on that cover...

Very Nice! That's going to be a workout wrestling all that canvas putting it on and taking it off.

You will have to add a couple of hours extra time to your boating plans just to take it off and put it back on. Not a one man job either. It will keep the sun off though.

If you roll it up right, one man could put it on.

Looks like it is one piece.

I like it, gives me a few ideas as well.

Based on my first go at it, I figure 15/20 minutes to take it off and fold it up and about 30 minutes to put it back on. Not exactly painless, but probably not as bad as it looks. Being new, it was tight and I had to wrestle with getting the back buttoned down. I am told it will get easier to put on after a few days of the material streaching.

In any event, I dont plan on using it every time we put the boat away.

Here is a view showing the back end of the boat. I thought the way they did the back was pretty cool. The skirt on the back snaps to the side curtains. Pretty much full coverage.

On top of it being practical it so cool!

Wow, that is some nice cover. Where do you store that thing?
