Hey Chris,
Great Vids! I watched a couple of them twice.

For a winter cover I use a double tarp, no cockpit cover. I use nylon line and a few 2X4s to build a frame 2-3' above the deck and through the tarps over. Lots of air can blow through and most of the snow slides off.

High Chris,
The frame is nothing more than (3) T type supports with towels ductaped on, a few lines, and 2 tarps.
I like to leave it so there's plenty of air flow.
Every now and then during the Winter my 6 year old and I climb in to hide from mom...

thanks chris, I appreciate the sizing (of the boat that is)


Its funny the option list doesnt show many of the upgraded items my boat has on it I wonder if they were added later or if that an earlier leaflet.
and can that O/B weight be after the outboards were hung?

Seems oftly light weight doesnt it?
maybe thats why my boat likes to fly so easy.
