Light cover including tower

Post by Lifelongbtr »

I’m thinking about having a light material cover made that would more or less center on the light pole of the tower, for an R7. Something easy on/off to keep sun off the boat, tower, speakers, board racks, etc. I have the mooring cover now, I’d like to keep that for longer sitting/trailering. There isn’t a lot of options for non OEM covers for these boats yet that I have seen. Thanks

I'm sure AJ will post his as he is very proud of it like some are very proud of their loadmaster trailers 😂😂😂

Or do some searching on his threads he has pictures all over on her.

I think it was $1300-1500. The tough thing for you to replicate will be how it ties down

I just wanted no water in the boat when it rains. This does a really good almost perfect job

That is an awesome cover while on the trailer in storage. It looks pretty tight like it might even work well on a lift. Is it difficult to put on? For my boat I have ordered a cover from precision marine to be installed at my slip. It covers the entire boat and the sides. It is on a track and you unzip the cover and undo the lower cinch and the entire cover manually slides off on a track. There is Chappy on my dock that has one and he loves it.

ThNks. Not too hard to put on. A little heavy but I have my system to make it easier
