Just need a confirmation on my tower for a boat cover purchase

[Thegerman618]

As the title says, my boat cover has shredded and need to verify my tower before I drop what seems to be a rediculous amount of money on cover.

I have 2006 Tige 24Ve, I know it's the e-series tower. Here are my options in boat covers
2006 24ve w/factory tower W/swimstep cover (pretty sure this is what I need)
2006 24ve w/Samson tower
2006 24ve w/metcraft tower w/swimstep cover

Here is my tower can someone confirm this please?

Thanks

Tige E series 100%.

Not a Samson 100%

Not a Metcraft 100%

Just note, there is a difference between an 06 "V" E Series and and 06 "Ve" E series tower. The Ve has a longer windshield making the tower stride longer. I mention this because in the 06 model year, Tige produced both the V and Ve, each having a E series tower with a different stride (distance between the back foot and forward foot).

Whatcha going with for cover?

[killerbren]

Just out of curiosity, what are they asking for the cover? Ballpark?

I called iboats, they have sharkskin plus 7 year warranty, with cinch locks and tower string support, shipped to my door for just over $600. I will be moving the boat to indoor storage for the rest of the time I own it otherwise I would do the sunbrella. Thanks again for confirmation, I will have to get this ordered ASAP but not gonna be here tomorrow when it starts raining

Good to hear. I just ordered a similar westland cover in the sunbrella fabric (unfortunately i have to keep my boat outside during the summer). I purchased it from SavyBoater (www.savvyboater.com) as they are having a 20% off sale for new covers. I had difficulty finding a cover for my 06 24ve. I talked to Cory at Evolution and he sent me to skiboatcovers.com who also did not have the 24ve pattern. So, i ordered the westland which should arrive next week. I hope mine fits as nicely as yours does.

Same question for cover order

Same question, different boat. For my 2006 21i, I get the options of Type R, Ltd, Type R Ltd or plain 21i. I don't know that Type R or Limited makes any difference in the cover, but on some of the sites, I only get options in covers for the type R. Anybody have details on the differences, if any?

I also get choice of wake design tower, phat tower, factory tower. I'm thinking it's factory.

I'm looking at ordering a sunbrella for type R, factory tower / swim platform. Overtons has a 20% off sale, gets it below $700.

Would be correct.

so I got the cover from Overton's. Made by Westland. Sunbrella. Fantastic, even better than my factory. Tight velcro seal around tower struts, easy cinch line, loose enough to prop up for run-off rain. I keep the boat on a lift in the sun, so covering the platform also covers a lot of the gelcoat aft. Comes with a ton of tie down straps with buckles, and has 2 vents sewn in at the top.

Anybody need a cover for indoors, my old one is the factory cover, not waterproof. Some holes by the rear tie down straps, and one by one of the tower strut openings, but in pretty good shape otherwise. See the photo above. $150/offer

How about a few pics of the boat with the new cover?

I've ordered the hanging support that atttaches to the tower, for now the engine cover and an inflatable kiddie tube support it to create run-off.20160826_155003.jpg20160826_155023.jpg
