Travelling with boat cover

Tough question....
That's a tough one. Reason being, the covers will all act differently depending on what's towing it. Some vehicles have a good air flow over the vehicle that there isn't any down force on the cover, therefore, not a lot of disturbance in the material.
Others don't have any or a less amount and the cover may beat the boat to death.........so, it's all in what's towing it and how much air is actually flowing over or on top of..........good luck. :cheers:

A traveling cover will say so on it.
Lee I have traveling covers on my seadoo's. They suck tight to the boat when traveling, and are made for that purpose. If it is a traveling cover it will say so. If not is isn't ans will do more damage than it is worth. Most traveling covers ratchet tight at the rear, for a vacuum effect. They will also have 2 vents to allow it to vacuum tight when traveling.

Man, you must have the bucks!
He's got bucks!.......I can barely afford the damn cover I bought from Walmart to protect it from UV rays, much less one of those fancy covers that stay on while doing 65 mph (that's 85mph translated to florida speeds) while going down the road.........:rofl:

This is the one I have for my boat- http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/07-0...006QQitemZ160243583502QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVW
Works just fine on the highway. I got lucky and found someone selling an unused one on ebay for a fair price, so I saved a nice amount of $$$ on it!! I was hitting ebay from time to time looking at them over a couple of weeks and the day I finally broke down and decided to buy one, I found the one I bought listed. Good timing
. Only thingis mine is for boats with tower, mine doesn't have one. Worth it for the savings though.

I got mine from poppies on eBay, cost $300+ but i think it will travel 110 no problem's.
As Karl said, they have vent to cause a vacuum and it sticks like s.....t to a blanket.
Your are not supposed to travel with the poles in, they are for when it's parked to stop the water pooling on the cover.
Anti-pooling poles.

Oh and Luois, if they are the crew on your boat. I want to come boating with you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:rofl:
Hmm, I didn't know not to leave the pole in. I traveled with mine in with no problem. If I have to take the cover off/lift it to remove the pole before leaving, it's just as easy to leave the cover home lol.
