So, I need a good way to repair about a 1' by 2' section of boat
cover. Might try iron on patches, if they come that big. Don't feel
like investing another $400 for a new cover now.

Any suggestions?

If it is canvas it will need to be sewn to have any strength. Any
sailmaker or canvas shop should be able to do it in a few minutes.

For about $125 or so, Herring the idiot could have had a guy who knows
what he is doing build a virtually storm proof shrink wrap cover for the
boat he rarely uses.

Hey! Harry finally finds a niche in which he can give expert advice.
It's in the "Rarely Used Boat" section of the NG.

I've heard it said that there's a place for everyone...

Harry is such a smart guy. I should have asked for his advice before I
bought a boat, cover, camera, car, house, stocks, etc., etc.

Lesseee... my boat is on it's 3 winter, so at $125 per winter, I'd be up to
$375 to cover my boat with throw away covers. That's not very liberal
eco-friendly btw. However, I spent $400 on a quality cover when the boat was
new, and so far it's been perfect. Next winter I'll have saved a cool
hundred bucks. I like that ROI.

Budget plan is 30 bucks for a 30'x30' tarp. Just got one for my new
invention.
Then you need some rope. Or maybe cinder blocks.

LOL! OK you got me on price there, but the tarp and cinder bloks make it
hard to trailer. If I'm towing the boat more than an hour or so, I put the
cover on. Another tough thing to do with throw away shrink wrap. ;-)
