THANKS TO ALL WHO POSTED WITH IDEAS. WE WENT OUT TODAY. I DID NOT BACK THE TRAILER DOWN AS FAR, AND MY HUSBAND WAS ABLE TO JUST DRIVE RIGHT UP ONTO THE TRAILER, AND WE HIT THE BUNKS DEAD ON STRAIGHT AND ALL 3 TOONS STAYED IN THE BUNKS. WHAT A GREAT DAY, EASY LAUNCH AND THE EASIEST LOAD SO...

We bought a used 2002 2575 triton with a 200 hp Merc Optimax. We always use the boat with about 13 people on board. We tube all the time. I have had two tubes out with a total of four kids tubing, with plenty of fun. Nobody has skied yet, but with 13 on board, and a tube out back with two...

My husband and I bought a 2002 25' Tritoon Bennington with 200 hp outboard last Labor Day. We have been trailering 20 miles back and forth to a lake near our home. We are getting pretty good at launching from the trailer, but the most stressful part of the day is still the loading of the...

I don't think I have a strap. Mine is a 2002. Does anybody have a picture of this strap. Is it in that back corner where the water is coming in on the carpet where the steps come up? mkbarrett2@msn.com

I thought about that, but the Playpen cover that allows water in, is the original that came with the boat. I guess I lost faith in the "Original covers", since this one failed. Plus I figured it would be very expensive, that is why I tried the one from Amazon first???

Jim, I am looking for any ideas to "Support under my cover". I put a new cover on my 25' toon and now the back area under the Bimini is forming a bathrub on every heavy rain. Your above post is interesting to me. Do you have any pictues you can email me? mkbarrett2@msn.com. Thanks, Mkbarrett2

I purchased by 25' 2575 RLX used. It came with a snap on playpen cover. The back area where the cover comes down to the step area was not covering the carpet very well, so I opted to purchase a full canvas cover that fit over the entire boat around the floor edge. Since the boat it a 25' with...

I love this Blog. Great idea on the tennis balls! Thanks. Mary

I did not measure the height. It has one Bimini top. It's the 12' Bimini, so it sticks up good.

I considered that. A neighbor told me that they sell huge tarps at Harbor Freight. I am affraid the poles (which have pointy tops) would puncture the tarp? I was trying to think of something I could put on top of the points to keep them from puncturing the tarp. I think your idea would work...

Thanks, If I end up having to leave my boat outside for the winter, shrinkwrapping might be a good option. I'd just have to get it dryed out. Still need a good cover for the season where the boat is parked in a storage lot outside and can get wet from rain. That is my biggest problem right...

I was thinking of leaving my playpen cover on also, although the pointy poles that lift the cover up for run-off might pose a problem. My playpen cover is vented and open some on the sides. We get some pretty nasty driving rain storms in Ohio. My carpet on my toon is always wet. I really...

The price seems low. Is it a good quality cover that keeps the water (Rain, Snow, moisture) out? Thanks, Mary

I bought my 2002 Bennington used and it came with the Playpen cover with the 4 poles, but it is not keeping it dry at all. The vents are letting rain in, everytime it rains the carpet gets soaked.
