Will this cover fit well?
 
I'm considering a new rain cover for my boat and I found this one:

http://www.overtons.com/modperl/boat...&wc_pn=WL1844S

My boat's a 1980 but these covers are for 1987-1993. Were there any structural changes to the V20 between 1980 and 1987? I don't want it to be just "OK". I could spend a lot lot less to settle for that.

Thanks guys.

I had noticed as well that some sites broke up the years for the V20 for their covers..not sure what the differences were .

I dont know if it fits or not but for that price I'd want to be able to push a button from inside the house and have the thing cover the boat all by itself.

That cover should fit provided you have an I/O and a factory bow rail.

Wow, I had searched for exact fit type covers for the V20 cuddy before with no success. This must be new. My guess is the manufacturer/Overtons got enough inquiries about whether an exact fit was available for the V20 cuddy that they decided it would be worth their while to make a pattern.

That bow rail on the one you pictured looks more pointed than the one on a V-20...other than that it should be a good fit...see above on Bradford's and then look back at the picture...

That's not a picture of the V-20, just something close to give us an idea of the look and fit.

I'm worried about my bow roller which sticks out about 6 inches:

Actually I's referrin' to the Overton's picture...that boat looks to have a pointed bow, whereas the V's got a more rounded bow and bow-rail...whenever you do find one to fit, I'd suggest strapping a piece of carpet over that bow-roller the pad the cover...when I used a cover on mine, I used a long piece of carpet across the top of the windshield as well...

A terrific way to pad the top of the windshield is to use those cheap water weenie type tubes--you know, those styrofoam floatie things that are about 4' long. Use the ones that have a hole in the middle. Just slice them with a sharp knifeon one side to the middle opening. They then fit right down on the windshield and stay put. They can even bend around the corners of the windshield.

I do the same as nipper, but with water pipe isolators.
