new boat cover

[kneedeep]

i ordered the taylormade cover from e-bay about 3 weeks ago.installed it this weekend. took about a hour to figure it all out sunday,was happy with the way it fit.
woke up monday to rain,took a look out back and my boat had two lakes in it. after draining the water off the cover went to the hardware store to buy 20'of pvc 1 1/2''pipe.
cut off 8' to go from console to stern and 12' from t-top to bow. should do the trick atleast now i don't worry about the leaves getting in the boat this winter/spring

That boat looks to nice to be hiding under that cover. Do you have any pics of the boat uncovered? I'm going with the same transom set up and would like to see how yours is set up.

I had to do the same thing on my TM cover. It's still the best deal for the $$.

Your boat looks great!

Are the scuppers correct when you're boat is loaded (does water come back in)?
Did you raise the deck to get the scuppers correct?

after seeing the cover on your boat and how it fit i decided to order mine.the only thing i was worried about was the bow pulpit,all i had to do was put the anchor on the deck and it fit. as far as the scuppers the deck was not raised,i made some 2x4by2x2by12" tubes out of fiberglass and mounted them thru the transom to the corner of the deck where the old drain tube was. it works great i do have to change the rubber flap out about every 6 months or so. check my photobucket album for pics of the scupper tubes
