Re: cover
I also have a Rebel 1625 XL SS. I used the factory mooring or cockpit cover. Sort of pricey, but it works great. I pulled my boat in a HEAVY rain for over 3 hours and didn't get but 2 small leaks aound the vents. No water in the boxes or any of the storage areas. You have to remove the windshield (no problem) and not have any equiptment mounted in the way. I rigged my own boat and planned it so the cover would work. I am real perticular about my boat and I wanted a cover that worked and worked well. Hope this helps.
BTW, I love the boat and it has lots of storage for a 16 footer. I got mine with a 60 hp 4 stroke Merc and I just put the new I Pilot on my Terrova trolling motor.........another great product. Good luck and have fun with your new boat.
