| 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? |

 Same, except I got mine from bunnings for 15% less . They are pricey compared to the cheaper tarps but well worth it!------------- We don't know what we don't need till we've got 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. https://www.mitre10.co.nz/shop/polytuf-tarpaulin-industrual-duty-1-8-x-2-4m-blue/p/309799" rel="nofollow - Polytuf Tarpaulin Industrual Duty - Tarpaulins & Covers | Mitre 10™
