Not sip....six
Mine comes off and goes back on for every trip. I hated it at first but know it takes about 20 minutes. The cover we have only has snaps at the bow. Everywhere else are the clips (much easier). I also wipe the entire boat down every trip which takes way longer than putting on the cover.For all of you who regularly put on and remove your cover, all I have to say is if I had to..... I would give up pontoon boating.
Especially those who have to do it while your boat is on a lift or at the dock. No way. No effing way.
Mine comes off in the spring and back on in the fall. No more, no less. It took me a half hour yesterday while it was on the freaking trailer.
My fingers are raw from yanking on the canvas to snap the snaps and my old knees are sore from crawling inside to set the support poles. What a pain. I just can imagine...... every boat ride. Nope.
I understand, but.... those covers you describe sound really expensive. If I were dead set on not using the mooring cover, I'm not sure I wouldn't just let the weather have its way with them (after treating them periodically with a protective coating), and then when they look really bad, just have them reupholstered. Seems it would be a wash as far as cost goes. I'll wait for the pics.I'll try and find some pics but I can assure you it resembles nothing like grandmas sofa! The covers are templated and made at the factory. My Manitou covers were all made by Manitou, my Premier covers were made by Premier, and my Bennington covers are made by Bennington and are actually being fitted to my boat this week. Sometimes extra J-clips are needed on the outside and snaps on the inside to ensure they stay on when going 50 MPH. The Manitou utilized all snaps which I installed. I have yet to have an issue in 9 years... I only use the mooring cover for long term winter storage.
I live on an island all summer. My boat is my main daily transportation. I could not imagine having to deal with a mooring cover everyday. I honestly find seat covers offer more protection as they are only removed when the extra seating is needed.

That's me on the weekends. If I'm using it Saturday and Sunday, I won't cover it Saturday night.Just a " Sip " ?![]()
