Wanaflatsfish Posted September 2, 2023 Report Share Posted September 2, 2023 PUT THIS IN THE GENERAL SO OTHERS CAN EASILY REFERENCE....Been lots of posts on Laporte products....here is the cover I purchased....finally got around to getting on the boat....their service was great....nice family business. I also have the Laporte rear shade. it does fit much tighter on the boat...I was just fiddling with it and decided to take a few photos for the forum members. LINK....

Moderator Posted September 3, 2023 Report Share Posted September 3, 2023 Dino, rain will collect in that slack spot ahead of the console. I take a dock line and loop it to the top cross bar on the TTop, then take it to the bow cleat. The tight line will hold up the bow section and stop the bellies from rain.. The tie downs will pull down slack to protect the hull from fading.. Marc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm very happy with it.....The only PIA is I have to take off the trolling motor each time.... DC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt. Troy Posted September 4, 2023 Report Share Posted September 4, 2023 Dino I would drill some holes in it so it doesn't collect rain. I know you want to do some drilling.😎 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wanaflatsfish Posted September 18, 2023 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2023 Update....I added two 10lb photography sand bags to the sides of the cover...pulls it tight....let's see how it fares the next few days rains. I also tightened the front line on the bow and pulled up tight on the center connection....didn't get a chance to run a line...next time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wanaflatsfish Posted September 21, 2023 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2023 Yeah, good idea...I couldn't find my bungees but, better solution...I had my photo bags in the garage and just put them on with a zip tie....bungees definitely better !!
