New Boat Cover

[mcbridek]

people on this site are big fans of coversports, but I like a waterline cover which protects the side from sun. It depends on where you store the boat. I also tow this boat and I leave the cover on, it protects the sides from rocks that kick up -and it has held up - has at least 5000 miles over the past year. You can have a cover custom made or I have seen the waterline covers on http://www.skiboatcovers.com/index.html

I see that many on this thread are fans of CoverSports, but personally I use a cover from Empire Covers. Their covers are semi-custom fit, durable, and low priced. I was truly impressed with their products, so give them a try!

I have heard nothing but good things about skiboatcovers.com. I also believe you can have a removable skirt added to a coversports cover. It depends on use. If I didn't trailer and occasionally want to leave the cover on to do so, I would probably buy something different. In other words, if my boat was on a covered lift year round, I would definitely go with a waterline cover and not worry about having something that was drum tight.

I had a local sail shop make a swim platform cover & side skirts for the Coversports on my 211. The side skirt just attaches w/ Scotchlok (holds better than velcro).

The platform cover attaches w/ Scotchlok to the rear of the cover and then has some short stretchy stuff (about 4") w/ plastic hooks on the end that go under the platform. This protects it from sun and keeps geese, ducks, and other birds off.

I eliminated these for a few reasons, primarily that they require poles in the middle. A bit of a PITA to put on/off and I don't think you can tow them them.

Does Coversports have a design that also covers the swim platform?

I received a response back from Coversports this morning. This is what it said in regards to price for 2006 SV211 cover.

"Hi Cover Sports here the price for that is 830.00 plus 35.00 in shipping. Our covers do not cover the swim platform. "

Wildsv211 - Thanks for posting the Info. I'm still pondering what direction to go with a new cover for our 05 211.
