Winter Boat Cover for EdgeWater 188 CC Power Boat

Boat covers prolong the life of a boat. Good to have.

Ha Ha GS. Get that snow shovel out. Welcome to my world.

Hmmm Rockfish and Spot . You Must be near the Chesapeake Bay area.

Years back, used to pack 2 kick-n scream-n sprats into a small car and drive to Falls Church VA to see relatives of my wife.

Saw the Chesapeake Bay around Havre de Grace, MD. During that stretch while dodging air born legos and my little pony's, I thought to myself that this would be the perfect place to live.

Next lifetime.. 20' boat and live near the Chesapeake!

We start going about the middle of March for big Rockfish. we troll for them. I really enjoy live lineing the most, start that in about June all the way until the end of Sept. We use spot for bait. really fun. Trolling gets the big one but not much fun for me. Guess what? they call for some snow tomorrow, back up the boat yard getting the snow off my boat and trailer.

Great ideal, thanks for getting back to me. Where do you store everything in the spring or do you break it all down. I had to check on my boat about 6 times this year to remove the snow, never seen so much snow. I have a 23 foot wellcraft. I love your ideal but I am not handy so theres no ay for me to do it but its a great ideal. I just put alot of poles under the cover, most of the time it works but this year with so much snow, its hard. thanks for getting badk.....

That wellcraft is a nice boat GS. Perfect size. Wish I could afford a larger 20 foot EdgeWater CC. Sometimes it gets a little hary out at Monemoy on the Cape in an 18'8" boat.

The cover comes apart by removing 10 or so screws and I'll store in the garage for next fall set up.

I store the boat next to the garage but like you, still go out and clear the snow off the very top.

Not alot of snow here in MA this year but very very windy.

Hey GS, just 2 months till the season starts.

too much work

Appreciate your comment GS.

If you have suggestions, feel free to send them along.

The cover project is a source of fun for me. If you have a covered boat, would like to see pics on how you handle it. Like anything, it takes more time to make the 1st one. Spring break down will be 1 hr. and fall set up will the same. It's holding up to 50 MPH wind gusts and everything else this N E winter has dished out.

Wish it shed snow better off the very top.

Over all, couldn't be happier.

all the snowy tree videos made me super homesick, but the boat structure is amazing! much more complicated then i thought it would be. it almost looks like you built a whole baot on top of youe boat!! nice work pops!
