Boat Cover Recommendation
Posted on 4/3/13 at 1:41 pm

I just bought a house that has no shed to store my boat. Until I can afford to have one built (which will be a while), I was planning to simply put a cover over it. Any one have any cover recommendations that can be quickly put on the boat and that will last? Boat is a 18' express bass boat
Or any other ideas to cover it so I don't have to mess with a cover holding rain water

Try BoatCovers.com
you can probably use one of their semi-custom patterns and save a little bit of money. I have Sharkskin for my cover, its waterproof / breathable, but a little heavy. The cover on my jetski is sunbrella and is better.
Your goignto have to use the tent poles to prop up the center so it doesnt pool water when it rains.

Like every one else in my state, I just use blue tarp. Took some PVC pipe and made a peak, and put the tarp over the top. This state wouldn't exist without blue tarp and duct tape.

Walmart/Academy has a decent boat cover for under $75.
They have a design for a CC 18' that does a good job. If you position it right, you don't have to worry about water pooling up on one particular spot.

I'm actually in need of a new one. I had an Endura cover that was 4 years old and was out in any and all weather, no other cover. Came with a built in motor cover and sewn on straps. Was around 200$ for a 17'.

I would recommend the Carver 8 oz performance poly guard. I have own one for years now and it still hold up really well. Try coverquest.com they carries Carver boat covers.

I had a Taylormade I had got from Iboats that was discontinued that was great for 3 years in the weather. It just died so I ordered one from Northern Tool that was half the cost, we'll see. Size fits 17-18.5 they say. 81$ which is less than 1/2 the cost of the first.
