Received my new 2274 GL in early November. We've only had it out 4 times but it's great so far. Everything works and the fit & finish is better than I expected. It has a 150 Yamaha and moves along well.
I find dealing with the playpen cover to be a very major hassle. Taking it off is OK but putting it back on the 4 times I've done it has been horrible. I have slightly arthritic hands and some of the snaps need a sledgehammer to engage the snaps.
My boat stays in a covered slip. Since the boat is in a slip I must handle the snaps from the inside of the boat which makes body positioning tough as well.
Do you feel the need to install the playpen cover every time you dock the boat for a week or two?
What about just covering the most of the boat and engaging half the snaps or just enough to keep it in place?
Any advice will be helpful. I plan to make my kids do the heavy work when they are with us but when just the wife and I, it's a tough job.
