Hello,

My old project fishing/ski boat is underway, and I've been looking at all
aspects of what needs to be fixed on this old thing. One thing that helps
maintain the condition of it though as I work through doing the interior is
a cover to keep the rain out. I'm temporarily using a tarp as I must get it
dry inside. However, I do have the original cover that is suppose to go on
this thing too (white with plastic windows). A typical cover I'd assume,
though it is in need of some repair and I'm wondering if that'd even be
worth the time.

The cover is white (typical boat top fabric). It isn't ripped anywhere in
the white, however the plastic windows of it are all gone due to sun damage,
etc. As well, some of the zippers are separating from the rest of the top
as the thread used I guess has worn out too.

Here's my idea.

1. get clear heavy plastic, cut, glue, and stitch back into the windows.

2. stitch the zippers back onto the cover where they are separating

3. get some sort of cover restorer that will soften up, shine up, and
protect the rest of the boat cover (white fabric) before that falls apart
too.

What do you think? I'm looking to do this myself as I've got this project
now for the next year before I'd expect to be complete it. I'd think with a
sealed cover back on I may be able to be rid of the wasps that get into it.
