covering a boat with a T-top?

[mpsyamaha]

i have a 21' cc with a ttop, and at my new house the only place to put it is directly under a big oak tree. needless to say, the boat looks terrible after only a few weeks. ive been going out and washing the leaves and dirt off every couple days, but thats not cutting it. i cant afford to get a custom cover made right now, so i was hoping to get some ideas.

i know it will look cheesy, but what about a big tarp for now? Throw over and tied down to the trailer or on the ground. Harbor Frieght sells some big ones cheap that can get you buy until you can afford to get a proper cover.

Look online and here at iBoats. They sell covers specifically designed for the t-top boats. Price will depend on quality. If all else fails, go with the blue tarp...at least it will match!

Your neighbors are gonna hate you for it. Check your zoning.

It would look better, if you don't have a fitted cover, to cover the console (even a grill cover will work) then tarp the bow area and stern area.

I have a hardtop on my boat and use the heavy silver tarp. I spent the time to form it to the shape of the boat and used tarp clips to maintain the shape.

Most don't notice it's not a custom cover until I point it out.

$79 dollars and I get 3 years out of it. I get another 3-4 years out of the tarp on the wood pile.
