Default Boat Covers

Hey guys,
I'm a n00b to this forum been reading it for awhile and decided to start posting.

I was wondering if you guys have had any experience with boat covers? I've been looking around heard good things about http://www.boatcoverscover.com , has anyone used that website or what would be a good site for that?

Thanks.

There are covers that work to shelter boats and there are towable covers designed to with stand the 60mph winds in towing.

The covers in the link will not tow..

I use my Lowes towable cover as a security feature and a way to keep the elements out. If you just need one for storage go with a car port instead. It is best to let a boat breath while stored. Open hatches and storage areas.

Yes the towable ones cost more but the next time a guy wants to steal your tackle he will need to work at it..

This is exactly why I have two garages at the apt complex. One for my truck and the other for my boat. I was tired of taking off all my equipment after each trip out on the boat. I also can work on the boat during a storm too. Free electricity in the garage as well so the batteries stay fully charged without the extra power bill.

If I were you I would check some local places out that make boat covers. You usually will get a good quality cover at a descent price and it will be custom made to fit your boat.

I don't know what boat you have but it is possible that Deans boat covers or Atwoods makes one for your boat and they both make quality covers.
