Anyone recommend a decently priced cover for an SV2100 with a T-Top? Attached a picture for reference. Attachments:

I have the same cover as Yolo, I get about a year out of it. I need to get a better cover. I wonder if those under the T-top covers get wasps and dirt dobbers in them?

I would think the only way to stop that would be shrink wrap

Freezer- I used to only get a year out of the tarps too. It was because i would pull the eyes out of the tarp trying to get the thing tight. Not sure if this is the reason you go through them.
If by chance it the same reason, then i got those tarp clips from home depot for about .99 each and used them to secure the tarp at several points around the boat; dont even use they eyes anymore. It keeps the tarp tight to the rails so nothing can get in and tight enough so everything runs off. These little clips let me tie it down to the trailer better and so i can move it if i need to without taking the tarp off; cant go on the highway or anything, but if im moving it with the tarp on the im not hitting the highway anyway.

I've got over 12 years on my cover and it's still going strong.

Down here the UV pretty much eats them up. I usually have a rocket launcher or antenna mount poke through when I'm trying to pull it over the top. I'd bet I could get two years out of one if I made a custom swim noodle that would fit over my rocket launcher. Those clips are a great idea. I have lost a few grommets over the years, but usually that happens about the same time the rip does.

Freezer, I use a piece of one of those camping sleeping matts (the thin foam roll up type) over the antenna mounts to stop my cover hanging up on it.

Got it, didn't even think about the sun. Mine sits under trees and first one i bought i didn't cover for two days in the spring, i went back to the boat and the deck as straight brown. That took some time to get out lol.
Great idea guys with the sleeping mat and noodle. I need something like that for the rocket launchers thanks!

rnr-marine.com/SeaPro.shtmlTry that website. T-Topless is one of the moderators. I don't know of any really inexpensive cover options with a T-Top though but he may have something. BTW open your pic and noticed leaning post not on boat but in garage. What up with dat? Thanks for the comments everyone! I am going to pick up a 20'x30' tarp. Think that should work! Poe, the leaning post is in the garage as I was rewiring the boat.

Nice!
If you ever have a problem with water pooling up in that bow section I tie some light cord from the t-top around the bow cleat back to the t-top to the bow cleat back to the t-top and so on and so forth until i have enough support so the weight of snow or rain does not pool. I use one continuous line from start to finish and just simply wrap.
Not sure if it will ever come up but since you have a new cover i just simply thought i would share in case it ever does come up!

I was shrink wrapping and realized that two season of costs equaled a canvas top from rnr marine. Just bought one for my 238cc and love it. If it holds up beyond the warranty it will be money well spent. Quality zipper allows you to access boat when ever you want. I been in and out of mine three times this winter and no dirt other than what I tracked in. There's my plug for RNR marine even if I can't a replacement canvas for my console.
