I need a cover for my boat for when it is stored on the trailer. Anyone know a sorce for one? I have the snap on cockpit cover but I'd like to cover the entire hull down past the rub rail.

Thanks

Ebay Motors.....go to "Parts", the boat parts, then type in Four Winns in the parts field, there will be tons of covers that come up........

I would try http://www.overtons.com
They have many covers that are "custom sized" for most Four Winns Models

But you could also consider the FourWinns cover if it's in your budget:
I have the factory cover for my H240, and it is very nice and covers to just below the rub-rail all the way around. Uses two posts to support the middle areas, and has kept the boat very dry. Not meant to be left on while trailering. Mine came with the boat I purchased used, however a few months ago I called a FourWinns dealer to check what the cost of this cover is, and it was around $700. Not too bad considering a top notch aftermarket cover could be around $600

That's less than I would have thought for a factory cover.

I also asked if the had a "Trailerable Cover", and they did not show one available for my boat.

My factory cover is reffered to as a "Mooring Cover". I can leave my cover on for a local trailer trip up to 35 mph, but take it off for higher speeds than that. It does cover everything down to, and including, the rub rail.

I bought one for my 238 on ebay for 169 bucks and I was surprised by its quality for the low price. I only will use it for winter storage, and it will last quite a few years because I use a large blue tarp over it so that the snow will slide off.
