Congrats @Aaron Stammet ! I edited your post to make the thumbnail pics full size, so there isn't a need to click each one to view. Congrats again! The Ebay covers sometimes fit and you get a great savings, but more guys than not find they are fitting a cover that doesn't exactly fit. You can't go wrong with yamaha sports plaza...good discount and a great cover.

When you add a pic, it gives you a choice of thumbnail or full image. It all comes with doing...this time next year, you will be telling someone else how to post one!

Congrats! It is a great boat. You will also appreciate the OEM cover. Towing without the poles installed allows it to suck down as designed and will put less stress on the new cover. Also get two large pool noodles, slit them down the middle and install on the top of the windshield (under the cover) when you tow. It will also help your new cover last longer. Any mods planned? A Stoltz roller to start?

@Aaron Stammet , you need to change the make of your boat in your profile to Yamaha! If you have an off white or black bow roller, they are known to mar the gelcoat on the bow. Many guys and gals switch it out for the Stoltz Ultimate Bow Roller.
