Jason - fishing the ocean tomorrow and forecast 10-15 higher gusts later should be a good test for the cover slider. We made one adjustment - moved the cover snaps closer to the rubber flange edge to press additional contact to the boat. I hadn't tested it yet, so we did this just to make it as effective as possible. I'll report after Saturdays use. Thanks

Looks Great!! Just make sure to keep them snaps lubed up!! They will suck when they start breaking from getting corroded!! Been there done that!!

I want to get a 3 sided for my boat, but they want so much dam money$$$

I am surprised you did not add the tear drop opening on the front sections. That way you could leave the top up and would be able to still have fresh air come through.

Different options for different preferences.
I had mine done so the center front section zips, rolls up, and snaps when I want good air flow.

Had it done at Dynamic Upholstery Cherry Hill, NJ because:
1. Sam keeps my boat inside his shop dry while doing all the work.
2. Does great work - always overbuilt.
3. Very fair pricing, and great customer attitude

If you decide to move forward, you might want to check him out.
Thanks for the complement .

Now all you need is a back drop and Mr. heater and you are set for winter fishing! I have been using Mr. heater for years, works great!

No back drop for me buddy - that's just too civilized.

Mr Heater ? That sounds interesting - I'll call you later this week so you can tell me about it.

Check out my fishing report - I talk about how rough it got out there.

Do you have a problem with the heaters shutting off when the boat rocks? All the heaters I have are designed to shut off past a certain degree of angle.
