This was a butt dial quote. Sorry. I use the cheap pep boys blue cover. They work great. Buy some large silver tarps from Harbor freight. If you want too be really trick have a air gap so the boat will have air circulate.

Make sure you don't let it sit wet and covered for too long. Mine sat covered for almost a year and now have little bubbles in the paint and had to replace the new carpet because mushrooms were growing on it.  :banghead: :banghead: :mad: :mad:

I think some guys have have had good luck with the Overton's cover as well as the pep boys. Sorry, don't know if they're waterproof.

Supringly it is, my will hold quite a bit or rain water. But will eventually leak. If you have some kind of structure so all rain runs off. Yes they are water proof. They are very popular covers. I have never heard anyone complain. Best $60 bucks you can spend. Besides beer and fireball .;-)

I try not to let it get soaked but it keeps raining which is good but I don't have a cover

I have s cheapie cover too. What i did to help was make a tent-like structure beneath the cover to make the water run off the cover. I used PVC pipe from HD. works good.

This is the structure like backbone for under the cover. Works real well don't glue the leg parts so you can store it flat.

How much is inexpensive? How much was the cover shown? I have a 21 foot plus swim step.
