I have a snap-on cover that was custom made and fits really nice. The problem is that I have to store the boat outside and it's constantly being dumped on by birds/leaves/trees/insects/etc.... I end up having to wash the boat and detail the area left exposed by the cover every time I go out. I've been thinking it would be really, really nice to have a storage cover that covers the entire top of the boat and cinches down below the rubrail. My friend with an X-Star has one like this and it makes a lot of sense. <BR> <BR>Can my current cover be modified to work this way? <BR>What should I expect to pay for this to happen? <BR>Any downsides to converting my current cover?

Can my current cover be modified to work this way? - I've never heard of it, but I suppose anything is possible. <BR> <BR>What should I expect to pay for this to happen? - You'd have to get an estimate from a local shop. Best rates are typically in the off season. <BR> <BR>Any downsides to converting my current cover? - Seems like it would be a royal PITA to put on the boat.

I added 3 foot sunbrella skirting to my existing cover to protect the entire boat from the sun. <BR> <BR>Cost was around $200 ( includign shipping) <BR> <BR><a href="http://www.skiboatcovers.com" target="_blank">www.skiboatcovers.com</a>

+1 for skiboatcovers.com. Best price I could find on Sunbrella &amp; he'll custom make tower cutouts or skirting if you want.
