Just got my Four Winns trailering cover. Cant get over how good it looks! Love that it has the Four WInns logo on the sides and back. And it simple to remove and install. Stuffing it in the way to little carrying bag is another question. Glad i went with this factory cover instead of custom. If anyone is having any trouble deciding on a cover you won't be let down with the factory one from Four Winns! I wanna keep it on all the time!

Are different colors available? I love that black look, but think I'd tend to go with a lighter color to help with heat.

Ooo...Thats not good....paid $700. How often to do you use it? or trailer with it? Not sure how often il use it. I wont trailer with it if im just goin 15 Mins down the road. I got it for long distances. Not using it as a storage cover either. Hopefully it will hold up alittle longer. Any tips?

Paid $1000 when I took delivery of my boat in '07. Use it all the time, stored out doors in the sun and rain. In the winter I started putting a tarp over it last 2 seasons. I tend to uncover for my short trips to the river ramp (7 miles) so I don't need to store it in the car.

Was pricing replacements from iBoats, and cost doesn't look too bad... about $4-500. I will be budgeting a replacement in the fall or next spring.

Love the cover it looks great! We have the same boat and I usually don't trailer with the cover since I am only 10 minutes away from the water. I really love the bimini covers did you buy those separately and it seems your speakers also have covers. I don't have covers on mine would love to add some.

Thanks man...The bimini cover came with the boat. Had it modified to still function and wrap around my tower speakers. Your bimini didnt come with a cover? How does it store with out flapping in the wind? Is it a factory bimini? Thought it came with one from the factory. Got my speaker covers from speakersox.com for $50 a pair.

It came with one but not as nice as yours! Not sure if it's factory since I purchased the boat used but I don't see any four winns logo on it, Checking out the speaker covers thanks. 8) Great site going to order two of those speaker covers to stop thrashing those speakers :lol:

I love the way that cover looks! I am needing to find something similar for my 278. I have checked with iboats, but it seems that they dont go above a cuddy size for these. Anyone have any ideas?

I love this cover because it covers the majority of the above-water areas. I bet it keeps the boat much cleaner! But I'm wondering about using it at the dock. How hard do you think it would be to get this cover on the boat while docked? Can I get it on ost of he way fom inside and on the swim platform then finish securing it while standing on the dock?

You could probably get it on securing it would be the hard part...It ratchets in the back just below the swim platform. Not sure if there would be a place to stand. Well without getting wet..
