Floating Matt Storage Option

[Yianni]

Am I missing something, or is the pontoon in the first photo underway with the outboard motor cover in place?

He said on FB the cover is vented and he always runs with it on.

I wanna see my cowl and branding. Those HP numbers on the side of it cost a fortune.

Manufacturers and HP: That can be added to the cover, depending on cover manufacturer. Yamaha won’t do it on the crummy cover people. My boat is black and white with white Yamaha. I plan on getting a white cover and having black vents and black boat name on cover. Motor is so big it speaks for itself on HP.

My engine cover has vents in it and I've used my while underway in cold October days. Why? Because I could vs any real technical reason for using it.
I keep my pad rolled up on the back deck between the rear loungers and the motor. I do have to make sure its rolled up to a certain diameter or it would touch the engine cowling when I trim it up coming up to the sandbar
