Exactly.
It will rub your fiberglass raw if you tow with that.

Hard to say it might be all soft and fuzzy in there?
I would use it for storage :-)

Thanks BB looking out for me and for the suggestion.
Actually, I bought a 20 x 40 tarp that I plan on covering over the entire boat for winter. I'm just going to toss it right over the bow/cockpit cover for extra protection from the sun coming through the windows. It should cover every square inch on the boat and trailer and keep it clean.

Lots to show today, but I I didn't get home till dark, so I'll update pics tomorrow night.

For that purpose, I would be all over this cover, T.

Looking forward to your pictures.
