I just post up a 2x4 ridge and let it fly a foot past the bow and a foot behind the motor. Set the ridge about two feet above the center glass and post just in front of cuddy door, another post behind the bow light and one more forward of the splash well. The post by cuddy door and back by splash well each get a snug fitting 2x4 installed perpendicular into the gunnels to take out any port/starboard movement. "Gussets" or "collar ties" supports take out any bow/stern movement. Stainless 3" screws and just zip it all together.Pretty basic but it's very sturdy and the snow just slides off.[a little will hang up by the windshield corners but not much] MonkeyB, that guy's cover looks real elaborate....it also looks like a weekend project. And Franco, don't rub it in......the sunblock that is. Stillrunning, go get those stripers! My striper/ fluke season was nothing to brag of....few keepers here and there, no trophies. As the years pass I am liking winter less.
