Hey guys, Im looking at going for a full blown cover, looking at something that is suitable for storage and roading over longer road trips on holidays etc. What sort of price do these run? My boats 5.6m glass - single axle trailer. Im based in palmy Many thanks

| I had one made, similar size by Central Trim in TaupÅ. 3 years ago was $1500. So with inflation about $1800 would be my guess. |

It would have to be a very good cover, well padded so it didn't rub on the paint or gel coat. It's going to flap in the breeze a bit. ------------- you can't fix an idiot with duct tape, but it does muffle them for a while... |

So got a cover made, went for a storage cover ONLY. There was no proven way to make a "both storage and travel" cover that succeeds in both without spending redic money. Cost $1850 +GST Made by Tarps and covers in Palmerston North. great wee storage bag given to me for free for when we do travel. I have installed massive front spot lights so that's why its larger in the front. Has tightening straps at both ends. We had serious flooding in feilding last week. Not a drop made it through. Its reinforced at all potential rubbing spots. would recommend for sure

Cover looks awesome should keep it protected well worth the money I reckon. Just need a cover for the motor now.
