Snow covered wellcraft

I wish I could have a snow covered Wellcraft!

I wouldnt sweat it....people leave boats uncovered year after year. It will take its toll on the boat for sure after years of that kind of treatment but I wouldnt worry about a week here or there.

Thanks for the reassuring replies, I am sort of stressing over it. This boat will be a work in progress, I plan on restoring it completely but need to do a water test and check the motor, trim tabs and such to make sure it worth putting the time and money into it.

swimming pool covers, do a search on here about them, improvise with lumber or pvc pipe to reinforce it and to make sure it won't puddle water or collect snow

....problem is the cover keeps blowing off and swimming pool covers are $$. If the boat works out I will have a cover custom made for next year. I just have to make it to the summer, if I can wait that long. Maybe I will go ice fishing with it. It does have a heater, LOL.

Good idea all the same

no, swimming pool covers are not that expensive, around $50(the one for my pool was $65 shipped), like i said, search on this site, its been discussed a lot. The pool covers are cheaper and hold up better than comparable size tarps, the shape of the oval pool covers also make it fit better than a generic tarp. You're still going to have to support the cover and tie it down properly. Don't waste money on bungees, buy some bulk cord and tie it down at each grommet

I will look into it.. the tarps just don't work.
