    Yeah I've seen those at Bass Pro too. I've got a crappie boat with a seat in the front and 1 in the back so i was looking for something that could cover the whole thing. i guess I'll have to use some Jefferson county engineering to make it work. Thanks.

    Well lowe rider I see you have been through Jefferson county, I'm just afraid that one of my neighbors might become upset if I was to borrow one of their car covers.

    I too have been thinking about cover. Although Im not from Jefferson, I do have a red streak on my neck.

    I have a patio umbrella left over from a patio table that broke in high winds. The umbrella was closed, however it caught teh wind and tipped the glass topped table over shattering the glass into a million pieces. Took me an hour with a shop vac to clean it up. Regardless, I have a vary large umbrella available. I have figured out mounting and where I will mount it. My ONLY concern is wind while in the boat on the lake. I envision a repeat, tipping in the dingy is not a good idea.

    My family comes from SEMO around Wayne and Carter counties and a lot of them moved to Arnold and High Ridge so now you know that I know all about blue tarps, duct tape and baling wire.
