what is the best cover for my boat?

I have a 1990 20' Bayliner Capri bowrider. The 2050 CX model. I need a cover that can withstand the winter here in N.J. I have seen materials like SunBrella and SharkSkin, and even canvas... I can't spend lots of money, I guess around $300-325 is my limit. Any ideas?


Hello,

iBoats offers many great covers as cheap as you'll find them.
Sunbrella is great as a bimini top but a little too expensive and porous for a boat cover in my opinion.
I like the Sharkskin material myself, it's breathable but waterproof and they are strong enought to be left on while trailering just make sure you use some sort of bow system to keep water and snow from building up.

Best way to cover a boat dock?

How is the best way to cover my boat dock without spending too much money? I have a 30 foot slip and I was thinking about a metal carport. Has anybody done this before?


I Live in S. Alabama. I have seen it done here. Knowing that the cost of these carports are pretty low, I would be leery of the rust issues around salt water.

If you are on fresh water, I would think it would work fine.

what is the best way to repair a small hole in a canvas boat cover?



purchase a "patch" kit. Check out outdoor/camping stores.

This will be the best way. Or, check out sewing stores for their patch kit.

I am sure, they would have something to help out.

good luck.

    Merriam-Webster defines a boat as a small vessel used for water travel. There are different ways to power a boat, which can range from oars to boat motors, but in any case they would need a hull or maybe a few to keep them floating on the water.

    The front of a boat is called the bow or prow and the rear of the boat is called the stern. The starboard is the right side of the boat, while the boat’s left side is the portside. The boat toilet is called the ‘heads’.

    A boat with a housing compartment is called a houseboat or barge. A pontoon boat is a flat-bottomed boat that serves as a dock or as a floating structure to support a bridge. They are also known as party boats. Sponsons attach to the boat’s flat bottom – these are round tubes that make up the foundation of the pontoon boat. The deck is surrounded by railing that serves as protection on all corners. You will either find the helm station on one side of the boat or in the middle of the deck. The best-looking pontoon boats come with lawn furniture, and even the whole works – a dinette set, upholstered couches, a cooler, a roof, and maybe even a head.
