Mooring Boat Cover

I would like to put a tight cover on an 18 foot boat and trailer it 26 hours at 70 mph. What kind of cover should I use.

If you read the fine print, most boat/mooring covers say they are not intended for use while trailering. However, if the cover is well made and has good support and is well secured, I've pulled boats 50-100 miles with no damage. Lighter covers well not take the winds you are suggesting. I'd think about shrink rapping like the factory does when shipping. And, I'd slowdown to 55 or so. You'll save fuel and reduce the stress on boat and trailer. Good Luck!

What can we cover this with that will be lasting and keep the tire from putting black marks on our boat when they rub together

Check your local fire dept(s) for retired hose....install along circumference with bolts & fender washers with adequate gathers to prevent contact with bolt heads. Gathers mean extra material betwixt bolts to extend out from tire. Could also get swimming noodle of proper O.D to fill hose...that's a better idea...actually.
Or don't be so cheap & un-nautical & buy a mooring ball. or a buoy to hold chain up.

The mooring cover is secure. everything else is dry, i.e. carpeting. i vaccumed all the water out a few weeks ago and now there is enough to get your feet wet. why?

all of the above also does this boat have a galley with fresh water supply if so check fresh water tank for leaks. put food coloring in tank and any built in coolers & live well tanks different colors in each.

I have a 1988 Seray Seville 18.8' Bow rider.
I need help in getting an ORIGINAL O.E.M. mooring cover for that vessel. Color Burgandy.
CAN ANYONE HELP ME LOCATE ONE!?!?!
Also, I'd like to get the side curtains and rear extension for the convertible top for the same boat.
PLEASE HELP.

Have you tried Overton's? They have a nice stock of supplies for boats. They have very nice boat covers. I've used Overton's for about 25+ years. Good luck, they are very helpful too.

1991 Hurricane 21’ Deck Boat FD206, good condition meaning it has wear & tear but nothing major. Deck is good, upholstery is a little faded/dirty, no rips but has a few split seams. Bimini top, new mooring cover. No accessories (life vests, anchor, fire ext., etc).

1992 Force 100 hp ELPTO 4cyl, 2stk, elec. start/tilt motor. Number of hours is unknown

1991 Shoreland’r dual axel trailer. Some rust/wear/tear but otherwise good cond.

NADA books it between $4895 - $5320. Dealer asking $5999.00. I know it’s tough without seeing it, but what would you offer?
Also, dealer is offering 1 year warranty, but dealer is 2 hrs from my home. Since I don't see myself driving two hours to get it fixed would you offer to buy it without the warranty in order to get a lower price? Keep in mind everything here is 18 yrs old.

hi ... the boat isnt underpowered its right size for the boat. The problem is that it has a 1992 force motor. They are no longer made and parts are no longer made for the engine. Thats my concern. You will have to look at ebay for used parts. Or find the old Mercury parts equivalent and thats not easy.
If you look around you can get a good deal on a boat If you have $6000 or there abouts to offer.
It is 18 years old you could look on ebay and sneak a deal locally or within 1 hundred miles.
Look at the web pages for the local boat sellers in your area they always have used boats for sale. FOr example in Crysal river Fl I saw a pontoon boat ( if a deak kind of boat is what you want) with Mercury 90hp for $5000, there wa a 18ft bay boat with a Johnson for the same price.
My fear for you would be getting a boat with a motor that is difficult to maintian aand find parts for.
