Choosing the right boat cover

It is time to extend the life of your boat with the right boat cover. It is important to understand differences between custom boat cover and universal boat cover.

Custom boat covers are designed to fit the exact model and year of your boat. These covers will fit tightly with a particular size and shape of your boat which eliminates gapping as your boat is better protected.

Universal boat covers provide coverage for all boats within a given size. These covers are less expensive than custom covers, but you may experience a loose fit or gapping. If you looking to purchase universal cover, be sure to buy one that is as close as possible to the actual size of your boat.

All boat covers should have protection from UV and should be mildew resistant. UV light can break down the fabric and mildew is almost inevitable. Mildew resistance helps to inhibit the growth of mold.

If you plan to put your boat on a trailer, make sure your cover comes with special straps to tie the cover to the trailer. The extra straps help the cover to fully protect your boat.

Even colors of your boat cover will give you needed protection. Lighter colors are a better choice as they will reflect light and minimize heat buildup underneath. Polyester and polyester content blends are an ideal fabric due to their light weight, lack of scratching and water resistance.
