The lined version is appropriate for boats with full enclosures
installed on
the bridge or upper station. It's truly waterproof (unlike regular
Sunbrella) and also does not pass dirt through it. Anyone who has a
boat on
a slip near a busy parking lot knows about the dirt I am talking about.

Yep.


My cover and top are Topgun fabric. Does not leak and lasts for years.
About the same cost as Sunbrella.

The Topgun fabric I have seen is great stuff. It is also a lot stiffer
(and maybe thicker) than Sunbrella but completely waterproof. This was a
boat cover so it may not be the same Topgun product. If it is the same I
could see a problem rolling it up in a small space.

If I recall Top Gun does not breath well, causing condensation when used
as a cockpit or full mooring cover. We used it when we owned the '87
Chris Craft and had a full mooring cover made of it. It was heavy but
very water proof.


I have both a trailering cover and a bimini of the stuff. My bimini folds
up, and fits into a maybe 10" diameter cover. But is a 21' boat.
