Default Boat cover shopping.....

Hello All,
We are in the market for a boat cover for our 23' with 2' swim platform.....was looking at westland and iBoats but want to check with you guys and see if there is another spot to look....would really like one that comes down the sides as much as possible...price isnt a issue.
Also considering just doing the shrinkwrap deal instead???thoughts?
Thanks!
Bryan

Just bought a cover from coversdirect.com they are offering free shipping and buy 1 get 1 on the strap kit. not sure of the quality yet and they said it comes 6 inches below rubrail. I did buy a cover from Boat Connection Liquidators last week. It was manufactured by Transhield. It covered the whole boat and had the ability to heat shrink it. it was good for winter or long term storage but not for my application of a day to day cover so i returned it.

The "Sharkskin" material is pretty good.

Default Vents

Just make sure when you buy your cover, it has vents already, or have some put in before you start to use it. Where are you located, what is the weather like?

www.boatcoversdirect.com Best place out there. They supply a lot of OEM stuff to major manufacturers. Bought my last few covers for my last few boats from them. Top notch.
