Clear what you can and get it tarped. Makes me cringe to see it !!

Ok, after being chastised for boat abuse and more than likely having to pay a fine to Ezombee, I got the old Starcraft covered up. Built a tee pee as tashasdaddy suggested out old 2x6's that I ripped down 1 1/4''.

Been working on getting the old carpet out of the Euroline 195. I have gotten all the snow and ice dam out of the bildge. Currently running an electric heater under a blue cheapo tarp to dry up the remaining moisture. I will be building a tee pee for that boat this weekend and have her covered as well.

Yep, for the inadequate tarp that leaves the back end uncovered..

He gets a pass here. Those Starcrafts have gigantic splashwells.

My neighbors would kill me if I covered my boat with a blue tarp. I would have to agree that it looks tacky and definitely "redneck". Kinda like parking your cars on the front lawn.

My old StarCraft with her Iboats cover......I loved that boat except for the Cobra engine and drive....It ran great though..
It had new interior so no way it was getting rain and snow in it..

Re: I'll Get Her Covered Someday

I had one of those "fancy" covers last winter till the Wyoming wind destroyed it. Tore out right at the corners of the windshield. I eased the sharp edge with tennis balls and foam padding and it still tore out from the wind.

They consider 25-35 mph and breezy up here.....ya right. More like mach 10

Re: I'll Get Her Covered Someday

I usually use that black foam rubber pipe insulation along the top of the windshield...so far so good.
Our property is down in a low area so that helps with the wind.

I still have another cover new in the box i got from the Iboats clearance sale.. 69 bucks...what a deal!

Well this is how to properly treat your baby, a roof over her head.

Agreed... however, in my case she's too tall for the door opening... D'Oh!

My baby is hibernating under her cover, inside my brothers pole barn.

The rest of them are:
Behind Moms barn (glass freighter canoe)
Behind another brothers barn. (Big, deep, rowboat)
At another brothers cottage. (plastic Pond Prowler)
They can take the abuse, but they are all upside down.
