    Had two OS. They don't like 100kph too much, stitching flogged out and wear-throughs

    Took both back for a refund, just had a custom $3160.00 h/d cover made with a five year warranty.

    Yes, I had too much money

    What material is classed as heavy duty? Is it proper thick canvas?

    Hi Sam i haven't ween on the water for over 12 months since i moved to upper Caboolture i have been busy getting set up in the new house, new boat shed & lots of yard work
    A trip up your way to soak a few pots & maybe wet a line sounds like a good plan I will give you a call in the near future

    My quote for $3,500 was for that “Sunbrella” material I think they call it Gazz. It was to have extra vinyl stitched around the canvas where there was a “rubbing” point like the rocket launcher rod holders etc.

    Gday guys, I had a sunbrella cover made and it lasted 6 years before rotting beyond usability. I have had a new one made and coat was similar to Ducksnutz. Easy to install a custom cover. Is it worth the extra dollars, not sure??

    Cheers

    If you make this cover it will look like an arsehat !
    Leave that stuff to the pros,
    Save your time and money, use the cover you’ve got, just point the trailer nose up and spend your time and resources on stuff that you won’t f**k up

    Bloody good tarp if it can hold 300 to 350 kg of water. Where do you buy them?

    Its a industrial ARK Tarp the sag in the tarp was just touching the floor the tarp sucked inside the boat, took on a huge pool behind the seats, in the splash well and up on front of the console

    I have it all siphoned now and repositioned the tarp all covered now kind of like a pitched tent
