    Question Boat cover?

    EDIT: DO NOT BUY!!! Product failed at 6 mo old, and it was the best cover.

    Who makes a good one? Ever hear of Seal Skin Covers? https://www.sealskincovers.com/index...oatcovers.html

    They are one of the very few I have seen that sell a hull specific cover.

    Yes it was $122 with free shipping,i checked again yesterday,same price. regular price is around $180,they make a 1200 denier,i think it was around $190 on sale. When mine came in i looked at weight on box was 14 pounds, cover comes with all straps an hardware to trailer boat on road.These prices are for my xb02,covers are boat specific. Randy

    A bit of follow up. These covers are THIN and don't have enough straps to make them fit tight. And if you support slips and water pools, it stretches never to return. I have had one in the weather for at the most 6 months and I ripped a hole in it getting a small puddle of water off of it.

    DO NOT BUY!!!! Unless you are using for for an inside cover. It won't stand up to the sun, which is why I bought the damn thing! I even bought the best one they made $190!!!

    10 yr warranty! LOL!!!

    Agree. i bought one and the fit is not so great its far from made to fit perfect and its pretty flimsy. It did keep the rain out a couple of times I had it outside. Fine for an indoor cover but not a good option at all for extended outdoor storage.

    Guys here's a decent one for about 250. I bought one from Taylor made for the V21 and it fit good for a generic cover. It held up good in the south Georgia sun for 3 seasons. It had a 5 year warranty but will prorate for a nominal price.

    I have had good luck with these guys for my atv's, cars. Don't have a boat cover from them, I just use a new pvc tarp every time it needs one. Might get one for the stream since it sees little use.
