Have an 87 seville with open bow, problem is the bow cover doesnt seem to be up to much as although it appears to be water tight it still lets in water. I was thinking of trying to build a hard cover from marine ply and fibreglassing it, which could be taken off when we go out, or can be left on if we go out oct/nov. What do you think and have you any tips??<br />any help appreciated.

Re: Sea Ray Bowrider/Hard Cover

When my bow-rider needed new covers I decided to have a heavy duty one-piece mooring cover custom made. It was a little more than twice the cost of a good out-of-the-box cover, made of high-grade canvas, and covers the entire boat (about $550 four years ago). It never leaks and is easy to put on alone while the boat is moored. With a hard cover you'll need to put it some place, I've never regreted getting the full mooring cover...it rolls up and stores under one of the bow seats. My boats on a mooring six months a year, the cover snaps on and also has a nylon quarter inch draw-string with stainless fittings for quick connect. Best of all, I just cover it with a nylon tarp and stretch wrap the perimeter for the winter. Possibly a problem with bimini tops. Question...an Alpha One Gen II bolted to an 87 3.7L inline 4?
