Thanks for sharing Knot.
I had the very same concerns so I had the cover guy sew in a 2 inch hem of soft fabric so the Grommets have no contact with my boat.

Jeff, Randy Kent at Marine Concepts here at the lake makes a bunch of high end covers. You can see some of his work on his web site. He has made them for the Nor-Tech CCs and a number of large cats. And you can come visit for a few days when you come up to talk to him:rolleyes:. Hope all is going well.
I have seen Randy's covers and they are very nice and all encompassing offering full coverage plus the ability to tow but I bet you he gets 3-4 times what I paid for my cover.

Yes I always cover them. Well worth it.

Your cover looks awesome. Randy's stuff is popular here, and mainly he does fixed covers for boats on lifts. Different market here. I keep my CC on a lift all year and I know Jeff keeps his boats on a lift At his home. Common here. His slide on covers for boats on lifts work great. But as you said, you pay for the convenience. Here is his cover for boats on lifts.

Looks like a quality piece & I understand the application is quite a bit different. Certainly serves it's purpose for the boater who keeps his boat on a lift.

Ron- Thanks for the GXM-52 Weather/XM Radio antenna recommendation to compliment the other electronics you provided. I'm getting an intermittent signal currently so I may have to mount the antenna on the hardtop after all. I have one more thing I'd like to try before I tackle the hardtop mount.

If I lost 100 gals of fuel the boat would weigh in at my guesstimated weight of 13,500 which is close to what it weighed on the tow home from SportBoats.
Weighed the trailer empty today. It weighed in at 2300lbs even.

So based on a combined boat & trailer weight of 14,120lbs and a 2300lb trailer that means my boat weighs 11,820lbs w/ 1/2 tank fuel (135 gals)

Nor-Tech literature claims 9k for the boat. Doing the math that number appears to be without power since the engines are 600+ each. Now I know what my boat weighs as rigged. Thanks!

Without asking Terry (which I never did) I wasn't sure what the 9000 or 9500#'s published weight represented but like anything else OPTIONS also affect the total. For instance I have 6 batteries & 2 chargers on my boat, 3 engine, 1 house & 2 for the A/C.

That's the weight of a basic twin engine 34 with no fuel.
