I has it made by Cory with evolution covers. The black matches the boat way better than the gray and its custom made to be on while towing.

I see! I was really wondering about the towing. Does it scuff the gel at all? Was it expensive? I ordered my boat with a cover but am not opposed to having one make like that and selling the factory one.

No scuffs that I have seen and i tow a few thousand miles a year covered (yearly trips to Arkansas and such). Cost was around $800 if I remember right. Main thing is he stays pretty busy so there can be a lead time. I am getting Jim at Rinkers to look into getting me the cleat and fuel door covers that come on the Supra covers. If he can get them I may try to get them added to my cover.

Man I wish I would have thought about that as that is the cost of the cover from the factory.

What do the cleat and fuel door covers do?

[rdlangston13]

Just allow access to the cleats and fuel door with the cover on. Right now if I am towing with the cover on and stop to get gas for the boat I have to take off the back half and fold it over to fill up the boat. A cover that unzips around the fuel door with allow me to get fuel without undoing the cover.

Same concept for the cleats with the boat in the water. I would like to be able to cover the boat while it’s tied t a dock over night and the cover covers the cleats so you don’t have access to them. Have the zippable covers for the cleats would allow me to use them when the boat is in the water covered.

I was actually just messaging with someone that had their dealer order an OuterArmor cover in place of the factory one. No prob.

Apparently there's also 5 other standard wheel choices on the boatmate trailers as well

I think the factory Supra covers are now made by outer armor.

Edit: looks like APEX makes them

Ya so I emailed him and he is booked into July right now which is awesome for him and I love that a privately owned made in the USA company is super busy!! I am definitely going to get a swim platform cover from him but I have to figure if I am going to order the boat cover from him as I am going to have to get the factory one anyways to keep it clean for the 3-4 months before it would show up. I already have enclosed storage for when the boat shows up but with the pollen in the spring I would never leave a boat uncovered.

Does anyone that doesn't have a trailerable cover have problems with cushions staying in place or do your boats get that dirty while on the road?

Unfortunately with the Makai being so new OuterArmor doesn't make one for it

I have the standard factory mooring cover but I do not tow with it on.

There's plenty of debate about whether or not the mooring cover will scuff your gel coat while towing. If it's a long trip, I know guys that will Saran Wrap the beltline before putting on the cover for travel.

I've been towing for two seasons now without the cover, no issues with cushions. Just make sure the windshield walkthrough is closed to direct airflow over the boat.

The boat stays clean except for the tower, cans and bimini cover...they are good bug catchers. Some Hula Boat Care Surf Away spray detailer & a microfiber and it cleans up easy.

My mooring cover really just keeps the boat dust free while in storage...
