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

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???
