What- so nobody can see the dirt? :-)

D'oh...if the boat is put away clean, the tarp will keep the tree crap
off it.


Well, maybe a custom cover, or at least a fitted one, but those big
blue tarps are like Burka's for boats! There is nothing so ugly as a
big lump in a yard covered by some brown, white, blue, etc. nasty,
noisy, plastic tarp. Tied to trees, and secured with bungee chords,
might as well put a working outhouse in the drive.




Ah, yes...peel off another few thousand.

I got a bid last week for a cover for the new boat. Custom fitted,
don'tchaknow. $2350.

A major manufacturer happens to have the precise measurements for my new
boat and offers a similar cover, readymade. $350 or so, if I recall.

Tarp: $40
