Marina where I stored my boat (2575RCW) changed hands. New owner wanted to more than double my price to deliver my boat. So I thought I'd take things into my own hands. Bought a nice trailer, picked it up, and things looked promising. I drove to my boat's location. Lots of wind, but we got it loaded. The new group was less than helpful to say the least. But before we took off, I asked one of the hands if I should cover it when I headed south to Lake Monroe. I should have consulted this esteemed group, but I didn't and listened to him. "You have to keep the tent poles taut!"
So i did. Bottom line, one of the tent poles launched through the cover. We immediately pulled over on the interstate. Love having big rigs zooming by 4 inches from my backside. We got the pole, but it was destroyed. I decided to take the cover off the boat and stuff it under the starboard/stern chaise lounge chair. Knew I had to buy a new pole, but no big deal.
My wife sees something flapping in the back. I take the next exit only to find my cover gone and a seat cushion missing. And that was just the beginning of the fun. I'll spare you the rest.
New cover almost ordered. It's about 1400 +/- BUT WITHOUT SNAPS! Anybody out there been through this process? Do I haul my boat to the dealer or look for a local upholstery company? Any wisdom would be appreciated.
