    Boat cover material

    Is there anyone that can shed some light on the different brands of materail for boat covers. Sunbrella is what mostly everyone has told to use. But I hear good things about Top Gun. For spending almost a thousand bucks for a cover I want to make a good decision. Thanks

    On the Malibu owners website, the only real guy that gets any press is Corey at Evolution covers. The cover can stay on while traveling, and the customer service is top notch. I do not own one, but if I were to need one, that is who I would call.
    Be excellent to one another.

        Check out Auroracanvas.com 417-883-4456. Best custom cover out there. I had my last boat done, fit like a glove and could travel with it. If they have done a boat like yours they may have a pattern. Ive seen boats shipped to them from out of state to get custom covers.

            Sunbrella is the ONLY way to go. It's the most expensive but it will last the longest and it breaths the best, which means less mildew, a dryer boat, etc.

            And that's good advice from Nobody.

                Is that where you sleep when the wife boots you out or when you go camping?

                    for the cost of the sunbrella material.. an RV might have been less.. LOL

                    there was the motorcoach, motorhome, camper, scamper, airstream, travel trailer, popup-trailer, and now the tigecamper.

                      Here is Florida where the climate is hot and humid, it's very common to see total-over covers. Especially with expensive fishing boats, these total-over covers will cost upwards of $4K to build on big boats, but the investment pays off 6 years down the road. For us, the interior stays new, the elements stay off our tower, bimini, and our speakers, and the mildew is negligible. The other covers never allowed the boat to dry out. Wet all summer long.

                      The other upside is being able to go inside and work on the boat anytime you want. Clean up, check on things from time to time. Do a little insect control...you get the drift.

                      If you store your boat outside and plan to keep your boat 10+ years, your going to pay one way or the other.

                      This cover came with zip on side skirts, fender well covers, spare tire cover for $2400.00. It took one bolt of material which cost about $1200.00+ to buy today.

                      Soon the boat will be repainted and the side skirts will come in real handy keeping the FL sun off the finish.
