Hi yall

I am needing to replace my boat cover and was woundering if yall could give me some info on which is a good one. I dont want to spend 600.00 on a taylor made custom fit one.

I was looking at BPS and the reviews are confussing for every good remark there seems to be a bad remark. I was looking to buy this one

I bought one on line at Overtons and it is a custom cover, they probably have one with a great fit for you particular boat. You only need to specify boat type, length and side trolling motor is on. Mine was about $300.00 and the fit is great, it is for a TR-21 DC and good quality. I was able to choose the color and am very happy with it.

It depends on weather your looking to just cover it while parked at home or cover it for towing. I had a cover at home that I bought at Wallmart for about $100 that worked just fine, but I wouldn't try to tow with it. If your wanting a tow cover, I'd go with the one from the boat manufcaturer or a custom cover. BELIEVE me, it's worth the extra cost. Sometimes you can find a good used one in the classifieds of various sites like Westernbass.

I own this boat cover. You will be luck to get a year out of that BPS cover. Also, the sun will fade the blue to white within a few months. Be aware this cover is not water proof, only water resistant which means the boat will get soaked inside with a good size storm. It also tears very easily. I would spend the money on a good cover if you can. I decided to kick the wifes car out of the garage and put the boat in there. Much cheaper

My dads dog I was watching ate mine. I went to Jo Anne and got the same canvas on a discount rack. Find yourself a granni sewing club and trade yard work ect... My cover was 50 bucks in thread and material and half a day of yard work and setting a door. And it fits like a glove. I treated mine with bear canvas sealer and mixed in a bunch of clear paintable silicone that disolved in the can. Anyway the cover is a thick rubberized canvas and came out really nice. If you have an old cover they can use as a template it helps.
