Cock pit cover only. Keeps out the road dirt and I've been caught in the rain all of the sudden. I installed extra snaps along the leading edge about 8"apart. I keep the poles up and cover nice and tight. So far so good

I trailer without full cover and without bow cover. Sometimes will trailer with the cockpit cover on, but only if the weather is calling for rain.

I'll never forget driving out of KW following a large OL with triple Arnesons and the cockpit cover blew back over the drives with the props on. It was shredded in seconds. Cockpit covers work, but they have to be real tight and tape the front.

I trailer with the cockpit cover on. its only 2 seasons old so it fits perfectly with the pole up extra tight. Its peace of mind. What if some d-bag throws his cigg out the window and lands on my vinyl. I know my boat is no quarter million dollar boat, but i have spent a lot of money redoing the upholstery and keeping it clean. I dont need any holes burnt!!!:eek:

I do make sure everything is snaped one last time before leaving, as kind of a "pre trip inspection".

I usually trailer with no cover. I think I might just get some plastic and 100mph tape (duct tape) it to the areas where the bugs can hit (windscreen, the front/bow-both sides of the boat). When the love bugs come out there is no real good time that I know of to travel. They are bad in the day and worse at night. I am going to look at an air deflector (like the big rigs use) for the roof of my truck to deflect them away as well. Thanx for all the info

I trailer with my chockpit cover or no cover at all.

Been thinking about adding some of these, my sea-doo covers all had them and the cover would really suck down tight. I wonder how it would work on a big cover?

I trailer with a full cover. I havent had any problems with the full cover. On my old boat I tried just the cock pit cover before and it blew off at 65 mph on the hwy. I will never do it that again.

My gel still looks great. I worry more about rocks hitting it and like big blue said about cig`s.

Oh man!:eek: I guess it would depend on how the wind hits the cover. I was going down at night in a horrible thunderstorm. I could barely see the boat!! Windy as hell, thunder, lightening, the works!

Got to where I was going and the cockpit cover was still there. It was dry inside too. Again, mine is only a few seasons old.

My buddy has an 87 Formula, cover has quite a few yrs on it. Like probably 6+ years. He didnt have a problem either.

Might be the aerodynamics i guess.

I've trailered with with the cockpit cover on, and with no cover. It looks way better with the cover on, and it seems to ride ok.

Even though it seems to ride ok, I will probably go without the cover going forward except maybe short trips. I mean heck, a long trip you are looking at a couple of hours at near hurricane force winds beating on it, so even though it looks ok, it has to be tough on the seams.

x2...we use electrical tape on the front. it doesnt leave any residue or glue when peeled off.
