Rankin Covers

[TRBenj]

Todd, great to hear that you are happy with the cover. Thanks for participating!

[KPNautique]

Received my cover yesterday - Fits Great.

[M3Fan]

My cover fits perfectly as well. Pretty amazing product.

[DougPhillips]

How about some pictures of the new covers on the boats?

[TRBenj]

Doug, M3Fan was nice enough to post some pics of his cover over on CCFan.

To anyone who is interested: I will be submitting the last group of orders to Rankin on Monday morning, 12/11/06. If you would like to participate in this group buy, please make sure you get me your order form by this weekend at the latest!

Thank you!

Has anyone with a 196/206 bought one of these? What are your thoughts on how it fits and how easy it is to put on?

[M3Fan]

It fits great. Pretty easy to put on, basically the same as any cover when it comes to how hard it is to put on. Clearly a very precise fit. Well worth the $$$ IMO.

I saw some pics over on CCF. What year is your boat and do you have any transom shots? I'm interested in how it's attached and whether than is ANY exposed transom.

[M3Fan]

The boat is a 2000 and I don't have any other pics of the transom besides that one. The cover has rigid "J" shaped pieces of plastic along the outer edge which grab onto the rubrail for a very secure fit. The very back of the transom, such as the lifting ring back there and the words "World Champion Ski Boat" are NOT covered by the Rankin. The rear straps attach to the handrail and the platform brackets, I believe, but I'm still getting clarification there. It should be pretty clear based on that one picture how much of the transom is exposed.

Sorry M3Fan, my bad, I only saw (until a minute ago)your pics on the 3rd page of the CCF thread. That picture of the transom on page 2 illustrates it well.

I have submitted the final group of orders to Rankin. If you sent me an order form but did not receive an email telling you that your order has been submitted, please email me and let me know ASAP!

Thanks to everyone for their interest, hopefully all who participated enjoy their covers!

I was part of the first group buy but have not received the cover yet. This is not a big deal since my 2007 211 has not been delivered to the dealer! I'm just curious how the group buy is progressing.

WW, I believe I know which order is yours but I dont have a record of anyones user names. Shoot me an email.

I believe this group buy was a complete success. Rankin was terrific to deal with, and they reported no issues with any of the covers. I havent heard of any problems from anyone who bought a cover either, so I think this buy worked well for everyone involved.

WilliamW- why not pick up the phone and call Rankin?

[WilliamWallace]

I will now that I learned I'm the only one not to receive a cover!
