Just to clarify and I edited my post above to add, my current cover was one of Randys products. I've linked his website on several of my posts to try to help him out- looks like he has a great product and hoping to do business with him and see it first hand sooner than later.

you need to learn to take a little ribbing.... Irrelivent to our past, I have defended your driving abilities more than once...I know the racing class and watching 20 plus hours off the run offs was time spent soaking up entry angle and turn apex like a sponge...If you remember I put you in the waterbox a few times.... and for an old guy you dont do bad..
I was actually defending them in destin in 06.....I am the first one to know it's not how fast u go but how fast you go around the track.....

Not to sound negative to anyone, but the best I have ever seen is a cover made by Tropical Canvas in Toms River NJ he has been making custom covers for a long time.. He makes a total custom cover with inside soft fabric that will not scratch your boat to no wind flap and the best Fill and vent flaps so you can fuel your boat with the full cover on it.. I have one on my Donzi, Tom A has one on his 38 Comp and Speedracer has one on his 44MTI they all fit like a glove and cover your boat all the under the edge of your boat..
Look at these pics of Speedracer being towed from NJ to Miami.. Also take a look at the wings he made for the custom hatches.. cool..

I had a similar cover for my 28 Pantera. Hot Duck had it custom made when he had the boat. It fit like a glove and probably had 15000+ miles of towing with it on. It was made the old fashion way and they had to have the boat there to make it. It was a great cover. At most, after a long trip, you had to wipe off some dust that got underneath it.

03-01-2010 12:59 PMThose are all great pixs guys, I know its not a new idea, but what is a new idea is the way it would fit. All of these cover so far are made the old fashion way, with seams here and there and tucks that cause wrinkles. With making them in auto cad, the fit would be perfect and all seams would run with the lines of the boat, I want to do it with no poles as well. I'll do my Dragon first and post pixs later to show the dfferance.

03-01-2010 05:06 PMIt's hard to explain, but when we use Auto-Cad, we put a curve in the seam in the middle where the cockpit is, this puts pre-loaded pressure on the fabric, much like a cone shaped tension tent, it will appear to be as tight as a drum, but it really is just in the design, this way the fabric can not move or flap in the wind. Much like if you roll a bead on a peice of sheet metal. Hope that makes sence to ya.
