For start of this season, I actually cut the shrink wrap off so that the part from the windshield forward I can still lay down, then lay the canvas on top of it to not get the glue on the boat I have to pull the shrink wrap from the canvas each time I open it up

Did you have anything like that with the one you purchased? How did you find overall quality

Thanks

EA

A vent like this might help

Dave how do you like the shark skin ? I have a new hatch so I need a new cover !! Something totaly waterproof and lite/ full cover. My winter cover now is probably almost 100lbs and not fun to put on when the boats on the lift !

You have to select the second option, then select boat type, and length. They don't have a cover for a 7' beam that long. The one I ordered is for up to 96".

I finally got my boat back at the house and put my new cover on. The fit is pretty good for a non custom cover. We got 6" of rain last weekend and there was not a drop of water inside the boat!

Cover looks great !! You have to fill the hole in the transom from the speedo. Any by the way awsome yard. The pool looks big enough for test runs for the boat.

Thanks, I fillled the holes but didn't get them gell coated yet. I don't know how much I will be using the boat now that I have the pool. I could of bought a NEW Y2K with the coin I dropped on the pool! My wife wasn't ON-BOARD with that plan though!
