I hate my boat cover..

[Sherwood]

Got my getting ready/ flush /wash down pretty fast. I hate dealing with my dang cover. It's generic 21 center console cover that clips into the center console. It has developed a tear so It's time for something new.
Does anyone know brand make one that goes over top the whole boat in one pull, without having to deal with the clipping into the center console?
Thought about getting like a 20 by 30 tarp, and putting tie ends on the ground on either side of my parking pad.
Would love to have a carport, but thats a no go with hoebag hoa.. possible could get a awening, but I have a low hip roof that's barley taller that boat gunnel. Last storm I used the boat as a ladder to get on the roof to check for damages.. so thats out.

Empire made a really good cover, but there was a fire at the warehouse and they probably won’t be available for a few more months. The one I have goes over the entire boat and use the straps under the boat to hold it down. I can put it on in less than five minutes. I’ve had it for five years now and it’s still going strong, although it’s not quite as waterproof as it used to be.

You might check Ocean South I think they have one that goes over the top and it held on by straps to go under the boat. I think there’s a little lighter material but it will work.

I like idea of tying down the side next to the house in like three points and just pulling it over. Tying the other side the trailer. I already use a big pvc pipe to make tee pee on the console to keep the water making pool on the bow from the trolling motor.. not in the picture because the dang control board went out and I took it off to take it to the shop this week.

As I said, there was a fire at the Empire ( also Budge) warehouse where the boat covers were, the last email I got back from their csr was not to expect them until late 2025 or spring of 2026..
having said that..

Go down to boat type, T top, and the one I got was the 20’ to 22’ in the 600 denier nylon. They were also available in the 1200 denier nylon.

Looks like the only option right now would be the ocean south version.. that material looks a lot lighter than the material I have.

Never tried a cover from Sea Skin, but have considered them in the past. They have other sizes and options.
