I'm using a tarp to cover the 14' Sea Nymph when not in use. Thought I bought a good heavy duty one, but it hasn't handled the weather and just ripped very easily the other day. Can anybody suggest a specific tarp or something that works other than an expensive boat cover?

Thumbs Up  Same, except I got mine from bunnings for 15% lessBig smile. They are pricey compared to the cheaper tarps but well worth it!

I've had a 6m verison of this on my boat tunnel house since 2020. It's survived multiple gale force winds and Canty sun. There's now the odd pinhole in a few spots, but aside from that it's still in good condition.
