Default boat cover - 23 contender

I have 8' antennas so the tarp will not work any longer. Does anyone have a recommended cover?

If your boat has a t-top, try T-Topcovers.com - Kevin Blake is your man.
I love mine. If he has a pattern for your hull, you will not be disappointed.

Your tarp will work with a little modification. Just place your tarp on the top and mark where the antenna is then cut a small section out and reinforce it so it won't rip in the wind. Other wise a custom cover looks a lot better, you should be able to get one a round 1K and you don't have to worry about going over the top, it straps up under the top with a zipper down each side for easy entry.

Mark looks great....one question...does water build up on the cover above the cockpit right in fron of the motors or does it drain out the floor?

No I have a rope under the cover in the back so it keeps the water from collecting. What I really like about the cover is there is a zipper on the port side the you can unzip and get into the boat without removing the cover. Makes it nice if you want to work on the boat in the winter. You can put a flood light under the cover and stay nice and toasty!! Mark

My cover looks almost identical to Marks, except I have zipper on both sides. It just comes apart in 2 pieces. Had it made at Trimmer Smith in Mobile.
