I here everyone complain about the sun chalking up the boat and having to re buff the boat a few times a year. This is what our family does to save our boats, keep it clean and not have any problems I don't have a new picture but the 400 now has a cover that goes over the radar arch. I think you would be surprised what your local canvas shop will make one of these covers for.

And we can use these covers in winter so we don't have to use shrink wrap, the material we use can hold up to the weight of the heavy snow, and most of the time the snow just falls off

I find having a covered slip is enough for me. No covers to take on/off everytime I use the boat. This is just madness!! Lol!!
 
Is that gray cover a pain in the butt to put on & take off ???.
 
Where do you store all that cover when you and your family are using the boat?????

In a dedicated 1 car garage...

That thing is sweet and would definately protect the boat but its gotta be a bi#%@ to put on!
 
I can take all of the tan covers off in about 7 min, it takes about 15 min to put all of the covers on my self. The way I look at it is 22 min a weekend is not a big deal compared to the time and cost of buffing and replacing things that are faded and damaged from the sun/weather. All of the covers fit in our dock box.
 
If you have a covered slip it is not worth it, but if you are like the majoity of us and you dont have a coverd slip then it is worth it.
