order cover with boat even if you don't use it. it's something most expect to get when buying used and when you are ready to sell the boat you won't want to buy a cover just to sell and it'll make your boat that much more desirable in the future. you never know when life will change and you want a cover for a day/week/month.
you can get covers just as nice or nicer aftermarket for similar monies but I'd order with boat. yours garage kept and towed a mile, you will likely never use the cover except to drop off to dealer for work. we garage keep and tow 15 miles to the lake. current boat hasn't seen the cover since it was dropped off to us new. think it's in the attic...


we used to ride the fox river in green bay. it had a steady current. our gps held different speeds when going up and down stream. for us, we learned to run one speed down and .6mph different going up. it was an easy transition. whichever one you end up with, you will adapt to. there's pros and cons to both.
we found the surf wake to be different when going up and down as well. I don't board so not sure if it would be different.
