Im looking for some thoughts advice or opinions on a new cover for the boat. we leave the boat up at our summer place all week long and I would liek to cover it with something other than the stock covers that came with it. There are a couple of reasons I want to do this. First i want to keep the originals form fading in thehot sun. Seocnd, the orignals leak a bit and I want to keep my bilge more dry than it is. Third would be to keep the sun off the above rail gelcoat.

I have been leaning toward a moring cover with drawstring style fit. The boat is docked with three lines to keep it in place and I realize I may need to modify the cover for the lines.

Question, do I use this type of cover over the stock covers? Is that a potential mold moisture issue? If i don't use them together what type of tent pole setup keeps them up? Do they come with the tent poles etc?

Finally, what types do you guys have and do you like them?

6* out and more snow on the way....wooooohoooooooo!

I've got one on mine. Cost about $900. Go to http://www.fourwinns.com/gear/canvas . I can get you a part number from mine to reference if you like. It just survived two ice storms and the first 2 inches of snow and I've only had the boat one month! Sad to say my boat has seen more snow than water!

Underneath the cover you see are my snap-on covers, with the standard posts, etc. The "top" cover has vents on the side which allow air to circulate. I've done this for years on my previous boat without the ill effects of mold and mildew. I do trailer uncovered to ventilate. My old boat had a faint smell of gas when I'd overfill, then cover it. This one also has holes for the pop-up cleats. You say you want to cover it moored.... this would be a viable option.
