Subject: Re: custom boat cover

Our last cover had snaps and straps going down to the trailer. Keep it as low as possible while trying not to allow air to come up from the back and pushing the tarp up. That particular tarp never moved while in tow. The one we have now is the Ranger deal with rachet straps, belly straps and all that mess. It will be in the canvas shop this winter, getting re-vamped. It moves all over and rubs on the boat and windshilds, the belly straps also rubs because of the force the wind is putting on it from the back. They explained to me that it was just a fact that you are going to get chafing and that it could be buffed out. You may have to go with some snaps and straps, whatever it takes to keep it from moving while going down the road. You don't want that $500-$800 tarp messing up your $15000 to $60000 boat. Thanks for letting me vent alittle, I can't wait to get ours to the canvas shop.
