Different Types Of Boat Covers

By Blaine E. Robertsen

There are a number of different types of boat covers available; these covers are designed to be used with different boats. For example, there are covers designed for pontoon boats, bay liners, bass boats and so forth. There are three kinds of boat cover which are the most commonly used, being suitable for thousands of different boats, including some of the most popular styles and models. You can also find specialty boat covers which are made especially for boats with features like ski towers and T-towers as well as covers made for V-hull models and inflatables.

Of the three main styles of boat covers the marine boat upholstery in each style is constructed with these quality features: 4-ply folded join seams; No raw edges; Weather resistant, anti wick thread throughout construction; Tie-down loops with double reinforced sewing; Braided tie-down rope and of course a marine boat upholstery warranty.

There are premium custom covers which are available for every model of boat listed above, with these covers being rated as the best travel covers available. These covers are available in three different materials, all including elastic reinforced stress pads (for use with boat cover support poles) and sewn-in vinyl reinforcement tabs placed at seam points. All of these custom boat covers are constructed with a combination of vinyl and weatherproof 3 or 4 ply fabric to prevent leakage.

Styled-to-Fit Model covers are best sellers! Styled-to-fit covers provide an excellent fit without the price of a custom cover; they fit many boat models well and are not designed custom but based on the brand and boat model style. The fit of all of the styled-to-fit covers is guaranteed with money back satisfaction. These remarkable covers are also made with vinyl and 3-ply/4-ply reinforced fabrics.

A basic version of the custom and styled to fit boat covers, Flex-fit covers are made using the same high quality materials as the other styles of boat covers, but are made for a loose fit - think of it as a slipcover for your boat. These are one-size-fits-most covers which are suited for a wide range of boats and are available in either vinyl or 2-ply weatherproof fabric.

Specialty boat covers are made for boats which need a specialized type of marine boat upholstery to accommodate the features of the boat; for example, ski boats or deck boats with T-towers . These boats are constructed with long tower slots lined with hook and loop closures and reinforcement at important stress points.

V-hull boats, tournament boats and other boats which have T-towers need special boat covers which take their features into account. Covers for these boats use 8 oz performance poly guard, double zipped entry at port and starboard for easy access and double reinforced bows for anchor rollers and bow pulpits. Also included with these covers are a self-adhesive reinforcement kit, two boat cover support poles, a rope ratchet and a heavy duty tie down kit for your boat cover.

A boat with a Custom Cover has the ability to weather the off-season through winter's snow ice and temperature variations and through storage, mold and other conditions and trailering. High quality marine boat upholstery outlasts time to keep your boat in tiptop shape through storage and ready for the next water outing. - 30555
