[FONT=Trebuchet MS, Lucida Grande, Arial, sans-serif]As the end of the boating season draws near, now is a great time to think about boat storage. Whether storing your boat on a trailer, at a marina, in a commercial storage facility, or mooring, a boat cover is a good idea.[/FONT]

[FONT=Trebuchet MS, Lucida Grande, Arial, sans-serif]Durable, reusable boat covers are a great solution for long term storage. Here are some great reasons to consider a cover:[/FONT]
[FONT=Trebuchet MS, Lucida Grande, Arial, sans-serif]COST. A boat cover from iboats.com typically costs less than one season of shrink wrap and, when properly used and maintained, outlasts shrink wrap by up to five years or more.[/FONT]
[FONT=Trebuchet MS, Lucida Grande, Arial, sans-serif]BREATHABILITY. Climates with frequent temperature changes from warm to cold can cause excessive condensation to build. A lack of circulation makes it difficult for excessive moisture to evaporate and escape. iboats offers the largest boat cover selection of marine-grade fabrics, many of which are breathable and utilize the latest technologies in ultra water repellency without coating the fabrics with an impermeable layer that cuts off circulation. This technology allows heat to escape rather than become trapped, thereby reducing condensation. Any condensation that does develop is able to evaporate and escape. Select iboats' boat covers also include sewn-in vents and vented support poles to help prevent mold and mildew build-up.[/FONT]
[FONT=Trebuchet MS, Lucida Grande, Arial, sans-serif]ACCESSIBILITY. For those who like to work on their boat during the off-season, a boat cover provides easy accessibility without sacrificing protection.[/FONT]
[FONT=Trebuchet MS, Lucida Grande, Arial, sans-serif]
[/FONT]
[FONT=Trebuchet MS, Lucida Grande, Arial, sans-serif]PROTECTION. When properly tied down and supported, a boat cover will protect your boat as well as shrink wrap. It is important to note, however, that some basic common sense practices apply. A cover must be properly supported and pitched. Support poles or a support system, available from iboats.com, or a homemade device such as a length of rigging line run tightly from bow to stern, should be used to create a tent effect so that rain and snow can drain off freely.[/FONT]
[FONT=Trebuchet MS, Lucida Grande, Arial, sans-serif]WIND WHIPPING. iboats.com's trailerable boat covers are made from fabrics suitable for surface contact and are specially designed to protect the boat at highway speeds when properly tied down and supported. Premium fabric offerings also offer the highest tear strength available in a boat cover fabric.[/FONT]
[FONT=Trebuchet MS, Lucida Grande, Arial, sans-serif]
[/FONT]
[FONT=Trebuchet MS, Lucida Grande, Arial, sans-serif]PRACTICALITY. Perhaps the greatest benefit of a boat cover is the protection it offers year-round. All iboats.com boat covers are excellent for both mooring and storage and the majority of covers are exceptional for travel.[/FONT]
[FONT=Trebuchet MS, Lucida Grande, Arial, sans-serif]ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT. While there have been great strides made in the reclaiming of shrink wrap in recent years, the process of preparing the material for recycling is extensive. All non-shrink materials must be removed. The wrap must be cleaned of all dirt and debris that could interfere with the recycling process, dried, and packed in manageable sections for handling. Consider the enormous amount of material associated with wrapping boats. Any percentage that ends up in a landfill remains significant. A boat cover helps keep shrink wrap out of our landfills.[/FONT]
