boat cover
« on: May 15, 2010, 10:52:04 PM »
Can anyone recommend a decent boat cover for an 04 Osprey 200?  I recently purchased this boat and unfortunately I'll be trailering it for a while and the only place to store it in my yard is under a giant spruce tree........dealing with the giant blue tarp is starting to suck.

There are alot of generic covers available, but the best idea is have one made that fits the boat perfectly. I had a Sunbrella over the T top and engines custom cover made for $1400.00 on my 22-2, with 10 year warranty on the fabric and 5 years on stiching. Its alot of money, but it fits perfectly, no sags when it rains and some piece of mind that I wont have to replace it for many years. The only maintenance is to re waterproof it every three years with spray silicone water proofer. The cool thing about Sunbrella material is that it breathes so I dont have mold issues and the greenhouse effect.

Look around a bit, and you can pick up a nice cover on eBay - keep an eye open:

I got a nice Taylor-Made (not in the box, but new) for $130.  Overtons also had some good deals going a few months ago.  

Good luck!
