Treads

formula1,

I checked and I bought mine from boatcoversonline which is owned by Scotties, and the actual manufacturer is Carver Industries. When I checked out Carver, it directs you to several online sellers. I bought the Poly-guard because it is the most water proof and is just loose enough to let the boat breathe as well. Have used mine for a season and a half and it still beads the water off like when new. The underside area at the midships and windshield area is reinforced with a lining as well.

Treads, is it like one of those blue plastic tarps you would buy at Lowes or Home Depot? What do you mean loose fitting and can breathe?

Do not cover a boat with the blue tarps. You will get mold and mildew in the upholstery, and you will NEVER get the smell out.

I had one custom made for my 302 out of Sunbrella. It wasn't cheap at $1500, but paint and upholstery cost a whole lot more than that. That's the first thing I do when I buy a boat, buy a top notch cover for it. It is by far the best investment you'll ever put in your boat.
Also pictured are the covers I had made for the Donzi Minx, and the Checkmate Mx14.

I agree with Cuda - Spending the money on a custom fit, high-quality cover is a good investment. $1200 for mine but fits like a glove, complete with snap-in center pole to avoid water collection in the forward part of the cockpit.

Formula1,

It is NOT like a blue tarp from Lowes or Home Depot. As Cuda and rhsj say above, not good for the boat. What I meant was that it is snug enough that it looks like a custom cover, extends below the rub rail about 8" or so all the way around, but yet isn't extremely tight to get over the bow and stern. I use my cockpit cover with the support pole as rhsj mentions, and then put on the full cover.

Treads, I don't mean to sound like an idiot. I like the Polyguard cover. It's just in their description, they say it does NOT breathe. That's why I asked if it was kinda like the blue tarp. I HAVE to make sure it BREATHES or I'm sure I'll wind up with a mold farm! And the other alternative is the polycotton, but like Thirdbird said, after a month, I don't want a sagging sponge on top of my boat either (even though that seems to be the one I should get).

Debbie says she can make a full boat cover, so a few months ago, I bought the material to make it with. It sat around here for months. She finally cut some patterns for it a couple weeks ago, and today she pinned the patterns to the material, and started cutting the pieces.

She had a little trouble getting the sewing machine to work properly. She finally figured she had the needle in wrong, and now at about midnight, she got started sewing. She didn't like me taking pictures of her with her granny glasses on.

Adam, do you have any pics? I would be interested, unless Debbie want's to make me one!
