Snap On Cover.
Just wondering if anyone out there has experience with a snap on style cover. Wondering if it is good for trailering, where is a good place to find one and if it is a pretty easy install? I'm looking for this style because quite often I leave my boat in a slip without a lift, and my mooring cover is very hard to put on there as well as part of it is actually in the water.

Don’t do it!!!!
It’s the worst thing even for a wakeboard boat and ruins the gel coat with spider cracks from the holes and leaches rust stains, even with stainless screws etc.
Plus no one needs a new torn butthole sliding over a snap.
The previous owner of my buddy’s boat did a snap on cover on his XLV, and we all curse him ever time we use the boat.

I have one and I don't mind it. Easy to run just the bow cover in colder weather, also the morning cover sucks to put on in the water / on a lift. If it would have been added after factory I don't know if I would have done it. I'm 50/50 on it.

Yep. I agree. I have the factory snap on and wish it didn’t. Top deck sits in the sun and oxidizes very quickly. It is fine for trailering but the sun just bakes the top. Won’t get a boat with it again.

I have had one on every boat i have had including my LSV and i love them! Especially if you are towing. They stay on nice and tight and don't rub on the boat like the storage covers. I have never had anyone get caught on a snap, never had one ounce of rust, and never any spiderwebbing of the gel coat. I wouldn't use one for long term outdoor storage but for towing they are the best.

Had snap on cover on my Mojo and hated every minute of it. Snaps on the very nose of the bow never stay snapped while trailering, not nearly as clean looking to see all those snaps all the way around the boat, like stated above snag your ....hole, stomach and anything else that sits and slides off the sides. Mooring cover with the ratchet straps in the back is the only way to go.

Perfect reason for a snap on cover. You need to have one for the bow anyway for weather and the cockpit cover is much much easier to install on the water than a full cover. I had both a better version of the Evolution cover and the snap on and both trailered well. The snap on cover was tight so there was never any sag. Only way to get one is to get your local boat cover maker to make one for you.
