Don’t Rock the Boat, Cover it
If you own your own boat, you know that there’s more to boating then just bringing your boat out in summer and revving it up in the water. You also have to maintain it during the off-season, when it’s just parked in your garage or at the dock. Even when it’s off-duty and out of the water, your boat is still exposed to elements that can damage it a lot. That’s why it’d be more convenient for you to get a boat cover to protect your parked vessel.
Should You Cover Your Boat?
The logic behind covering your boat is similar to why many car owners place sheets of fabric or covering over vehicles that will be off the road for some time. The protective covering keeps dust, dirt and grime away, keeping the finish of the car clean and shiny. Other factors like water and airborne chemicals also tend to chip away at the paint job, and getting that fixed can add up to quite a sum.
By covering your boat while it’s out of service, you ensure that it’s more or less clean and usable once you decide to rev it up again. That way, you can spend less time tidying up your boat and more time actually riding it. You don’t just save money by minimizing the maintenance that you have to perform, but you also save time because you have to do much less cleaning than if you left your boat open and exposed to the elements.
Different Kinds of Boat Covers
You can find several types of boat covers for sale on the market today, and you can make your choice based on your preferences and needs. Each kind has its own pros and cons that you should carefully consider before making your final choice. Plastic sheets might seem like an obvious choice for simply keeping dirt and water away. You’ll want to think twice, however, when you realize that plastic is less durable and less effective as a cover.
Canvas boat covers are the most common and usually the cheapest type available besides plastic. The typical canvas boat cover is made of tough, high-grade canvas fabric that’s usually fastened to your boat with a system of cords and cables. Quality varies based on the tightness of the weave of the canvas. Plain canvas covers are less expensive but are also less durable than the ones made of duck, a tighter weave.
Blended fabrics are another good choice for covering your boat. If you decide to get a customer boat cover made, you may want to pay a little extra to upgrade to blended materials like poly-cotton. Although they’re more expensive than canvas covers, blended fabrics are more durable and are easier to clean.
Getting a boat cover isn’t just about picking out the fabric, though. The shape and fit of the cover should also be an important consideration. For example, covers for Sunbird boats are shaped differently from Bayliner boat covers. You should pay close attention to the boat models that a certain cover was made for. To be absolutely sure that the cover will fit, you could just get a custom boat cover made specifically for your vessel.
