Cool, Joe. Thanx for the pics. So I guess a new cover would keep my boat cleaner because it's new and expensive?

Speaking of covers, does anyone have any pix of how they modified a stock cover after a wakeboard tower installation? I've got an idea on how its done, but would love to see the actual thing. Thanks

Ah....nice. Basically, cut and hem a slit around the legs, sew the velco to make a tight fit, and rig the draw string with a clip or "S-ring" for easy-on easy-off. Looks like this was done professionally (?). Thanks

Yeah I had a local guy do it after pricing new ones. I dont know how it compares with others but the price was right and it works great. Looks like he added the flaps after cutting the slits so that the two pieces of velcro overlap 100% and lay flat. The drawstring thing is kind of cool he basically un-hemed the cover edge lenghtwise, and velcro-ed that too to make a pocket that will wrap around the string between the two pole cut outs. Just peel this open, unhook the S hook and the drawstring drops out of the way. Good luck on yours!

That's exactly how the factory cover on my 210 works.Same cutouts and overlapping velcro around tower.Same velcro overlap to cover rope and clips.
92- There is a guy in Shapleigh that could probably modify your cover for you.I had him make 2 covers for me last year and they were both well done and reasonably priced.He is a very "interesting" dude to say the least,but has probably covered half the boats on our area lakes.I have the number if you want it.
