    Well I promised I would post pics when the cover was done with both motors covered all in one piece so here is it! I am very happy with how it turned out. There is another pole in the front and rear that I didnt have in but it trailered just fine with the one.

    As for the boat…It was awesome fishing out of on opener. Everything worked great and I love the extra room in the back with the livewells no longer coming up the side. Used cruise control on the Ipilot which was slick! The performance was also good for the prop not being done yet. 3 people, 1/2 tank fuel and all 3 wells filled up I ran 59.5mph. By myself going with a 5-10mph wind I hit 61.7.

    This weekend I am going to add some 3M clear tape like they use on cars to the rear of the boat where the motor hose is, kicker handle and then a small piece on the big motor just incase it were to hit the kicker. Also adding some non slip pads on the deck in front and rear.

    Cant wait to get back to the lake on Friday and do some more fishing

    Yes it is a snap. I had them put the buttons this time a little lower, pretty much the bottom side of the bumper so people dont get hooked on them and if the boat were to bump the dock it wont ruin the buttons.

    Canvas Craft in Ramsey,MN. We have probably had 10 covers made from them over the years and they all have been great.

    I’ve heard from others of their work many, many times. Never a bad review!
