Tige Boat Covers, trailable?

[JohnnieMo]

If I am towing more than a few miles I leave the cover on. A couple suggestions:

- ratchet it down tight. This way it won't move. If you are worried about rubbing, run a circuit of packing plastic around the rub rail before hand. I don't bother.
- If you are dealing with bugs, either lower the tower or wrap that plastic around the tower too.
- remove the "hangtyte" rope system from the tower as the air flows better without the cover peaking in the middle. I also suggest making sure that center handle is well fastened as I had mine fly off on one trip. (I locktite it on now)
- run a wakeboard or a board across the bow section. This prevents an air pressure cavity from being created and stretching your cover.
- Don't tie anything from the cover down to the trailer on the sides. They will be destroyed in minutes. Trust the cover to stay tight on its own.

Regarding the bow, we found that having a big beach ball under the bow works well. It supports the cover over a large surface area and does not risk damage to the seats. Plus you have a beach ball when you get to the lake.

I have an 07 rz2 and while trailering it to the river the top disinigrated into a million pieces. I replaced it with a new one from iboats from sunbrella with the soft inside to avoid rubbing. Fits super well with zero issues.

I trailer my 15 Z3 with the cover on if going more than 50 miles. Just got back from a 1200 mile trip towing with the cover on and had no issues. There were also substantial tail, head and crosswinds during the drive home. I do not use anything strapping the cover to the trailer. I have noticed a slight amount of rash below the rub rail from previous trips which is why I now go around the rub rail with some of that sticky carpet protector plastic. Works great, $10 at Home Depot, cut the roll in half about 12" wide, enough to wrap the entire rub rail area twice. Used it this last time and had no rash at all. I also saran wrap my tower legs where the cover rubs. On a long trip there are too many debris, bugs/bug poop that get into the boat and stain your vinyl.

This is the reason I had a snap cover made for this boat. Works awesome and the water drips off of it like a scene outta the Matrix reloaded

Saw that tiges new covers that are trailerable are Called outer armour http://commercialsewing.com/products...erable-covers/

Does anyone know where you can buy/order these?

You have to call commercial sweing. I ordered on from them 2 years ago and have been very happy with it.

I tow with my factory 07 cover on most of the time. I find that the cover rubs a little bit on the gelcoat but the marks it leaves are very minor. I do like to trailer with the cover off if the inside of the boat got more wet than normal and i want to dry it out a bit. I find if i tow with the cover on i have to re buff a few places on the boat once or twice a year, and if i leave the cover off i end up with a much dirtier boat and it takes much longer to get the dust and dead bugs out. I find that its easier to do the extra buffing and have a cleaner boat.

My last boat had a snap down cover that worked great. No rubbing and it kept the dust and rain out no problem, though i hated the look of all those snaps on a otherwise very clean looking boat.

Do you remember how much they cost? If so do you mind sharing? Also are these made with something that keeps from rubbing against the boat? Figure they must be good if Tige now uses them on new boats and I was thinking if I get one to have it made to go over folded down tower as when it would be used is for storage and towing long distance. Looks like this is how they do it on the new tiges as well
