Boat Covers
How
to Measure Your Boat For A Properly Fitted Cover
It's easy to get a good-looking, properly sized cover for your boat.
Just follow these simple steps:
- Look
at the shape of your boat's hull.
- Always
measure your boat yourself to be sure you are ordering the correct
cover. Don't rely entirely on manufacturer's specifications!
- When
determining center line length, be sure to consider options such as
bow pulpits, trolling motors, and swim platforms.
- Measure
in a flat, straight line from the tip of the bow to the farthest point
aft that you intend to cover (especially if you want to cover swim
platforms). This measurement should be taken through the center of
the boat.
- Do
not measure upward and over windshields, seats, etc.
- When
measuring maximum beam widths, also use a straight flat measurement
from side to side.
- Be
careful - on some boats the windshield area is the widest, on other
boats, the transom may be the widest part of the boat.
Why
Buy a Boat Cover?
- Keeps harmful UV rays
away from gelcoat, carpet, vinyl, etc.
- Helps hold the value
of your boat.
- Keeps bugs and debris
out-so when you want to use your boat, just uncover it and go-there's
no cleaning needed.
- Helps avoid theft of
items in boat-out of sight, out of mind.
