Make the perfect choice for your water bound vessel Like sunscreen, the importance of choosing the right cover for your boat is not to be underestimated. Covers play a vital role, and it’ll only be a matter of time before you regret not giving the choice of boat cover the careful consideration it deserves. Your boat may keep you safe as you travel across the seven seas but a quality Boat Cover will keep your boat in mint condition not only at sea, but also on a trailer, in storage or when moored. Just as important, a good performing cover will keep your boat in tip-top condition for when you decide to sell and up-grade! When it comes to fabrics and boat covers Ricky’s has its fair share of experience. Read on to find out all you need to know before purchasing your next boat cover. It’ll be an investment you won’t regret. Is a boat cover really that important? Yes, it is. In fact, boat covers perform a number of important roles including: Keeping creatures large and small out Protecting your boat’s instruments, interior and exterior from harmful UV rays Shielding your boat from rain and snow, debris and dust Deterring thieves and reducing the chance of theft At Ricky Richards, we’d much rather your choice of boat cover go through the following gauntlet before settling. Making sure you take each of the following factors into account will ensure you get the adequate protection for as long as is feasibly possible, and all at a cost that matches the value you’re receiving. Here’s what each our boat cover team will take into consideration when helping you: Cost It’s a no-brainer but also still something we believe shouldn’t be forgotten. What you pay for must match the quality you receive. The factors below will influence how much you will be required to pay. Type Custom Custom covers are usually available for the latest and best known boat brands. These covers have been manufactured specifically to fit a certain make and model of boat. Alternatively, custom covers can be purchased from canvas shops that carry that option. Semi-custom As the name suggests, semi-custom Basscat Boat Covers don’t cater as precisely to the dimensions of a boat by model, year and make; rather they cater to a generic class of boat such as a fishing boat, dinghy boat or bass boat. Universal Universal boat covers are not made with any specific boat in mind as they are mass produced but will fit your boat, perhaps just not as perfectly. What they lack in fit, they make up for in cost. Fabric Boat covers are made using a variety of different fabrics, each offering its own unique set of advantages over the other. These fabrics include mixed blends, polyester, cotton and acrylic. The fabric chosen should complement the environment your boat will be in. For example, if your boat will be in a humid area then a cover made from breathable fabric like Docril will prevent mildew build up. What is a Bimini Top?

It can have 2, 3, or 4 bows. 2 bow tops are usually seen on small fishing boats. “2 bow” means there are 2 bows running through the top of the canvas. The most popular configuration, a 3 bow top, is typically seen on runabouts, bass boats, and even performance boats. These tops can be low profile and sleek, like our super sport Bimini tops. We offer 3 bow tops that fit underneath a tower. If you have a tower, make sure you get a top that is specified to fit a boat with a tower. Otherwise, the top that you purchase may not fit, especially if your tower is narrower toward the top than the bottom. 4 bow tops are typically seen on pontoon boats or larger boats. These tops are available with either square or round tubing. What Is a Slipcover? Slipcovers are removable, fitted covers that are secured around pieces of furniture.
