Chrisb Posted May 14, 2022 Report Share Posted May 14, 2022 I am in need of a new boat cover. I want it to keep the rain out. The question I have with all the ads is what do I really need. Very few if any say 'waterproof'. Many are 'water resistant', which doesn't seem good. Some are 'water repellent', which seems better. What do I really need to look for to keep water out? The previous one I had from Cabelas was good but it is no longer available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Markster Posted May 23, 2022 Report Share Posted May 23, 2022 Sorry for the late response, but i have had excellent results on many boats with material called topgun. This stuff is a little spendy, but it truly waterproof, blocks the sun and will last a lifetime. over the years of owning many boats i have seen that the worst thing you can do is not get a quality cover. The rain is bad, but sun damage is the worst. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrisb Posted May 23, 2022 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2022 I will watch for topgun as material when searching. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Its About Time Posted May 24, 2022 Report Share Posted May 24, 2022 I had a boat cover made for me using the Top Gun material. I have had it for three years now. It is great. Keeps everything out and it Travels well on my long trips up north. It's a little bit more money than other material, but it will last longer for you. It will save in the long run. Hope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
