Boat cover question?

[Iwannafish]

Time to buy a new cover for my boat. My old cover (that leaks and is covered in mildew) had a gusset sewn into the back that slipped OVER the outboard motor. It was a boat AND motor cover. It is in such bad shape, that I can not read the manufacturers tag to see who made it. I have done several searches online for another cover that will cover boat and motor, but have been unable to find one. Does anybody know who makes a cover like that? Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Thanks, guys.

Taylor made trailer lite semi-custom cover maybe. It would help to know what boat it's for.

Don't know about a boat cover with attached motor cover ... but I found this place when looking for a replacement boat cover for my boat :

Most places I looked had separate motor covers, but I wasn't checking all that hard ... I have a separate motor cover that's still in great shape, so I didn't need a combo cover.

Check out iboats.com they have a cover selection chart with boat types and names. You should be able to find what you are looking for.
I have purchased a few tarps from them and was very happy with them.

If the boat cover does not go over the motor, it does not go all the way over the back of the boat, the motor stops it, and rain water flows down into the motor sump at the back. At least that is how I picture what will happen? Am I missing something?

I have one on a old boat that I bought back in 95/96 from BP. Getting kinda rough but still works. It came with a separate motor cover. It came back far enough I could tie it down over transom and never got water into boat.

If you can get a cover that lays flat as possable you will use less fuel towing the boat. Just get an engine cover if you want the motor covered.
The void between the motor and boat, like the one you have now, creats a lot of drag.

It would help to know where you are from. If you are in the Kentucky/Barkley Lake area, there is a guy who custom makes them out of Skippers on 68-80, just before you cross the bridge over Barkley Lake. He can make them either way, with or w/o motor covers. Cover he made for my boat, he had a 2 rods that went into 2 vents at the top of the cover to let moisture escape. Good covers but EXPENSIVE!

When I got my bass boat I wanted a fitted cover, made specifically for my boat. When I saw the price I went a different way. I measured total length of boat PLUS motor and found a cover long enough for that distance. I pull the cover over the motor and use bungee cords to hold the cover in place at the transom. Worked great and saved a lot of money!
