what's the best boat cover?

[Clyde]

Since the end of true canvas, what do you use to cover your boat from the elements and still let it breath?

There is another brand that escaes me at the moment
Be sure to have a good shop make it and have a center tent pole designed in if you are going to leave it where it rains

I HAVE HEARD A LOT OF GOOD THINGS ABOUT SUNBRELLA COVERS.I AGREE WITH A GARAGE OR TENT BEING THE BEST. :eek:

I use lined Sunbrella on my antiques because it is lighter than TopGun and looks more like canvas. They are never outside either.

You guys are right about a garage being the best cover. Unfortunately, indoor storage has been off and on for me. In the meantime, I have a custom made vinyl cover. It was $600 seven years ago. It's held up pretty well despite it being a dark color. It looks like acid rain is getting to it and it'll need a good scrub very soon. The boat is a bowrider so it has three poles. Drainage is good in the winter. My concern with the canvas type materials would be stains and how easily they come off???
