When we trailered our boat from Boise to Reno, I ran 24” plastic wrap from Lowe’s around about 6” below the cover line, and around any contact points. Like Larry said, the over tower cover sucks down so well at low speed, and doesn’t move at high speed. In towing to Modesto for warrantee work, I didn’t plastic wrap beforehand, and not a bit of chafe. I probably cause more chafe putting the cover on and off than from driving with it. Caveat being it was dry on both trips. Add wet road grime and de-icer I would plastic wrap underneath and shrink wrap over the cover. See if any nearby shops have the felt transport covers. I don’t know if SC ships their boats with them, but some others do.

Well she's on her way. It looks like Bulletproof Wraps did an amazing job protecting the boat. It will be like Christmas unwrapping it! If all goes well it will be in my possession tomorrow night. Super excited!7.jpg

Looks like how they ship from skiers choice.
I still have my factory shrink wrap cover and it’s soft lined on the inside, $450 charge from the factory.

iirc those covers are from trans-shield. when we transported our boat from boise to GB we bought one from the tige dealer. was $350 installed and once I got to GB we were VERY careful in how we removed it. used it as the boat cover for the next 3 years when we stored it in the shop for the winter to keep the dust off.
great covers and stand up to traveling very well.'06 Supra Launch 20SSV-gone but never forgotten

Yeah watching those guys wrap that boat I was impressed. They took great care to pad everything and put the anti-abrasion tape over the entire boat before wrapping, and taped off all the forward surfaces of the trailer. They do fantastic work. So sad to see her go , but glad she's going to someone who'll truly appreciate her.
