I always wondered why boat tops are made with cloth. I have an all weather gear bag from Cabelas that you can drench with a hose and nothing inside gets wet. I don't know what it is, but why not make tops from that material? It's heavier than canvas, but it would stay dry all day in the rain and spray and could be wiped down for storage in a couple of minutes instead of days. Just a thought...
