Location: 31

I run both ways depending on the weather and road conditions. One thing I don't like is having that “road film” all over inside the boat before I start fishing, plus the cover affords a little bit of theft protection if you stop for a burger or something. Normally I leave the cover off on the way back to kind of air it out, but a lot depends on how far away I am fishing, gravel roads, and time of the year.

I think it's a non-issue as far as extra drag being created from the cover being on in my boat, but I have a ratcheted cover that fits tight too. I have a backup camera on my tow vehicle that I can flip on to check the rig out with while driving, I never see it flapping or billowing.
