    Winter storage cover

    Winter storage cover

    I wouldn't leave anything uncovered if you can avoid it.Nothing replaces shrinkwrap and nothing is better.If you are hung up on using your method, I would blue tarp everything after you have done your method.Charlie

    Probably not much value due to age.However the width is where you are gonna have an issue. 12' wide means its only gonna fit a boat with 8' beam or less.Charlie

    Best Brand Of Storage Cover???

    Any cover I have ever used for storage, I have additionally covered with a relatively cheap poly tarp.waterproof, ice proof and snow slides off of it. Any 600 denier storage cover will do the job but covering THAT cover with a cheap tarp is the hack and it works flawlessly!! Charlie
