Another….over the tower cover

Post by ajcampen »

As you know my boat lives on a trailer under the stars 99% of the year. I purchased a winter cover for my 220 then a summer over the tower cover.

I just got a cover made for my R7. The material is top gun and it keeps the water out. This time, I had side skirts put onto zippers.

Yes, very easy to get the cover on and over the tower. I can do it in the same amount of time as putting on the mooring cover.

I thought really hard about having one made and instead made a cover for the tower itself when it will sit for more than week. When my mooring cover dies, I’ll probably go this route. I really want lightweight material that’s easy to put on and take off especially for the times when I’ll back to the boat the following day. I hate the boat seeing daylight when it’s not being used.

Hopefully aftermarket companies will start making these at some point, my old boats seemed there were a ton of options, already custom fit, inexpensive…

Nice cover AJ.
You show the old cover on the boat outdoors.
You show the new cover on the boat on the boat indoors.
Interesting.
