Cockpit cover: Boats that go on a tilt trailer cannot use a pole to hold the center of the cover up because it could become loose and scratch up the inside of the window or interior. I decided to try a different approach and make a valley down the middle between the seats for water to drain out the back and not need a pole to hold the middle up.
Here is a pic of making the template, and the second pic test fitting the cover the material was a little loose between the front and back seats and would flap in the wind so they tailored it to make it tight. I think its going to work pretty good.
