Taco'd "a person or people that show up with one lake lice and a family of 50 and cram 3 people at a time on it with no disregard to boating rules or ethics. Usualy crap in toilets and throw shit paper in trash cans. Hang out at the boat ramp like its a swimming hole. Have zero insurance on anything they own and dont give two shits less about your property."

Yeah, whatever you do, don't go get the cheapies at say BASS Pro Shops, etc. Sergio bought one (supposedly towable) and where the scoop and headers hit it, it ripped apart like a $20 prom dress coming back from Parker..........Guaranteed, yes! and they did replace it....still....only 1 trip with it at 75MPH.

I had mine made for Pickle (An SST V-Bottom) here in town at a shop in Tempe. He double layered it where the pipes, steering wheel, seat backs and scoop hit it, rope strung clear through it's perimeter, etc. Nice stuff! :thumbup: I'll check and see if he's still around doing it tomorrow, but he mostly does Bimini's. I don't ever tow with a cover on, but he still folded and triple stitched everything, set it up with D rings on all the seams so I easily could if I ever wanted to. (I hate those plastic snap lock strap deals, lemme use a bungee or a ratchet strap on it). I think he only charged me like $250 or so, and was a deal at that, VERY high quality!  ;)

Boost turned me onto a guy that ebay's overstock covers out of his house.  I was very pleased with the quality for about a buck twenty five.  I am getting set to buy another for the Spectra.  I can PM you his number but he wants you to send him a check first, then he mails out the cover.  I wasn't comfortable with that so I met him at Puddingstone one weekend when he was camping there.  Very cool guy with a very hot wife.
And I would never tow with a cover on if you are concerned about your paint.  It don't take much to get between the cover and the paint to really scratch it up.

Might want to consider one of these, may even be the same cover,, $90 shipped.  I bought one for my 20' Baker outboard,, only had it a month so can't tell you how long it will last, but also 5 year warranty.
