Title: Boat Covers??
Post by: JBASHAM on November 13, 2013, 11:06:03 AM: Im looking for suggestions on good quality jet boat covers.... Im using one of the "semi-custom fit" ones out of overtons for my 19ft I/O V-hull, but they dont offer one that looks like itd work very well for Jet Boats. I need something to fit nice on my 18ft Bahner with OT headers and withstand atleast a couple seasons of the brutal high desert sun and winds!! Thanks- Jake

I have an existing 31x31 slab on my property thats just dying to have something on it, but the old pocket book doesnt quite agree with my shop dreams! :banghead: Guess ill have to settle for a carport and boat cover.....

i spent 800$ on a custom cover worth every penny. Cover is going on 3 years and still looks like new and it's been stored outside

My cover (All american Canvas, Montclair, Ca) 17 years old, (1996) still decent shape, the vinyl at the corners and bow have come apart over the last several seasons.
