Boat Cover Bow

We have a 16ft runabout open bow. We are having difficulty finding a really good boat cover that wont tear on our window from the weight of water and snow. We have tried propping up the center of the cover, with a pole, but that makes tears also.
We are tired of spending hundreds on boat covers that tear before a year of use. Can you point us in the right direction? We have Overtons catalog, but there are so many to chose from!
Also, what can we use to keep the water and ice from collecting in the first place?

the problem is not the cover but the sharp edges on the windshield. go to your favorite hardware store and get some pipe insulating foam covers. they are allready slit. place then over the sharp edges of the window frame. this will protect your boat cover.

hope this helps

A brief video about Carver boat covers

I have a 98 bayliner capri open bow sppeed boat and the cover over the storage in the hull is warped and rotted is there a place that custom makes these or am i on y own? I would like the exact same cover (carpeted plywood/fiberglass backed) but I do not know where to find it. Please help

A fiberglass repair shop can do it. I did a lot of them when I worked at a boat shop. They are easy to make. The reason they rot is the manufacturer doesn't completely rap them in glass. Anny decent marine repair should be able to do it.

All I can find online are the type that you tie down. The boat is a 1992 Bayliner Capri 2070 Bow rider. Any help would be appreciated......thanks!!!

Pretty much any shop that does tents/awnings and boat tops can make a custom-fitted cover for your boat. Check your local yellow pages.

I could really use some help on this one. I am looking for a way to support my pontoon boat cover. I've tried some support systems on the market: 1x2's bowed, pole supports with straps, but nothing seems to hold my cover up and most of these items just buckle under pressure and I end up having a swimming pool on my cover. I really don't know what else to try. If somebody knows a way please help me. Don't want my boat getting trashed anymore. I live in SE GA and we get rain almost everyday. Thanks for the help!

I use the cover and the cover support pole from the company below. Works really well. I live in TN and it has held up well to our rain! Hope this helps.
