boat cover for 24'-0" superboat
 
anybody know where to buy a full cover for the 24'-0"?

I think I bought mine from Overton's. They will not have a specific cover for a Superboat, pick one that matches your basic type of hull, length and the smallest width. Mine fit good and worked great, straps secured to the trailer.

I bought mine from discount boat cover. I got their nicest material for about $250.00. I think it was polyguard supreme for a 23'-6" boat. When I called I asked the which length would work best. The 23'-6" cover is actually several inches longer and fits like a glove in length. It is also made for an 8' beam boat, so it does come down and cover the sides a fair amount. Link below:

You can get a real nice custom fit with sides and all through Superboat.
JMK406 has one.
I think JC quoted me $1700.
I was too cheap and bought mine through coverquest.com for like $250.

Jayhawk- how did you find the material to be on that canvas? Reason I am asking is I have a full cover for my 24, but the canvas actually sticks to the boat whenever the sun comes out and heats up the boat. Then when I pull it off, it leaves a glue/sticky like material (especially on the bow) that takes me 20 minutes to wash off. I tried washing the underside, etc and it still happens. 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

The material I have is great. The water beads up and rolls off. It has never penetrated the cover and caused it to stick. When we first got the cover, the boat was sitting on the trailer. We hadn't gotten a pole for the cockpit yet, and it rained a whole bunch. The water made a pool out of the cover in the cockpit, but never bled through. It was dry as a bone underneath. The material is top notch.

Do you have a swim platform? I ordered a cover from www.coverquest.com I got the Sharkskin material. It just came today and I didn't put it on yet. I ordered one that says it fits 24.5-25.5'. I'm hoping it comes down over the platform too.

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 !

I had a Sharkskin cover for my last boat and it was great. Lightweight and really keeps the water out. I put a vent on mine and never had any condensation or mildew issues. I also bought that "quick stick" pole. You slide it in from th outside so you don't have to try to climb under the cover.

Thanks Dave Looks like its going to be shark skin for me also. I didnt see Superboat listed ? Did you call or use different manufacturer ?

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!

z.zuperboat 05-15-2008 05:46 AM

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! :argue:

elvisali 05-15-2008 09:00 AM

Great cover, bought a similar one myself recently just like that, love it, fits great and boat is bone dry

jayhawk261 05-15-2008 09:20 AM

Is the chlorine better or worse for your engine than salt?:cool-smiley-011:

Cover looks great Dave. Is that the Sharkskin you were talking about?

z.zuperboat 05-15-2008 11:23 AM

Itsnt it great when you start getting prices for the pool. Then add for a shed for the filter, maybe a heater, brick work, fencing, land scaping, electric with lighting, maybe moving your septic system. Not just a hole in the ground.

Superbabi 05-15-2008 12:36 PM

Dave, nice pool !!!! did you go for a saltwater system ??

Yup! That's the way to go. The pool is fiberglass too! Should be pretty much maint. free. They had it in the ground, filled, and the pump running in 3 days!

Real nice !!! What power are you gonna put in her ??? :D:evilb::D
