Just Bought one of these off E bay,, (£44) arrived yesterday ,very pleased with the quality, bought the 17-19 ft version , looks really well made and as a standard size fits superbly,

What's it like round the A-frame/engine?

[SeaSkills]

Thanks. Very timely - I've just lost a cover to the strong winds that we had up here yesterday!

I think that is the one I have got. Really good.

they are strapped above AND below the hull, i take the A frame out and it covers to the middle of the Leg, with the frame in, it would wrap around the base, the bottom is elasticated,,
had high wind last night and its still there and all is good

Not bad - 19ft and £44 - I wonder where the justification is in charging £1200 for a cover for a boat less than 2x the size???

I've just ordered a size 7 one for my RIB and am waiting for it to arrive.

I emailed the company asking if they could put some slots in it for my A-frame, and they sent me the attached image showing how the covers are cut away at the rear for A-Frames.

Glad the quality is good.

I will have to give them a ring!!! Even the biggest is less than £90. I only need 5' more...........

I must say how the hell can other companies charge so much???

Just ordered a 17-19' one as well.

I bet they're wondering where all the business is coming from

Think I shall order one too . i was wondering what they were like , so thanks for the thumbs up .

Do you think the 17 -19' will cover the large centre consul on my 5.5 m boat or should i go for a bigger size ?

[Andy Moore]

Here's mine.

Does anyone know if it would be possible to fit one to a boat floating in a marina???

Me and Neil Harvey managed to fit one to his Shakespeare while it was on a pontoon. I think he could have managed it fairly easily solo too-it's just a case of getting the right routine to put it on.

Dunno-have a look at the pics on here of Matt H's new console. It's far taller than mine but I don't know your boat.

heres a pic of mine (i think) i guess its going to need similar size to a rib really , its the rails at the bow that use the space but no more than tubes i guess

[Nos4r2]

Probably worth contacting them via ebay and asking them which one will fit. You've got a lot of freeboard and you'll need to be sure the straps are the right length for a start.

Freeboard it cost all i had mate
