I am in a wheelchair , I have a Deck Boat where I can wheel on & Off Boat to Dock..
The problem is, My wife has a Hard time putting on the Boat Cover, Our Town does not allow a Ruff on Docks, $$$ people across Street in Houses don't want to see the Ruff during High water...on River..
Anyway, Is there a Cover that is in a tube type thing that you can just Pull the Cover out over the Boat and fasten to boat.. Then when you want to take off , you can crank or some how whine back into tube or container out off the way..
Not sure how this would work , but would be a lot easier for my wife or a person like myself to cover the Boat...Our cover has Snapp's to snap on all around the Boat to put on and off..
I've looked on the wed for this type off thing , but can't find..
Anyone out there that can steer me into the right direction? Thanks

Sorry, but I don't think you'll find such a cover. A competent canvas shop can work with you to devise a relatively easy system. You may want to consider a full encloseure as seen in my sig, especially if you use the boat frequently. The sides go up and down quickly and the top can be rolled forward if you want the full sun.

I retract my previous statement. You can find a suitable cover, if you a good search is performed. It seems that the one suggested by Incoop is exactly what you are searching for.

Now that is a good idea. Anyone know what it sells for? The web site doesn't show a price.

Guessing it ain't cheap. I remembered seeing it in the back of PDB and googled it. Probably have to contact them with your deets to get a price as there are so many pontoon boats out there.

The Boat Guard retractable cover is a very ingenious invention. I wonder how it performs in a 50-60 mph wind that we get a few times per year on our large, deep lake?

That I really like; I wonder how much that would cost for a 24 ft Pontoon boat.
