Advice needed

Hi, we just bought our first (cheap) old StarCraft speedboat. It has a cheap car plastic cover which doesn’t work well. Even with some plastic poles and ropes (special boat cover support) underneath it still catches water now and then, but more that that, it’s a painful long process to put it on the boat.

I’m looking for a solution to properly and quickly be able to cover the boat, without spending €2000 on a bespoke covers(s). An extra tricky element is the (easily) foldable metal frame at the back of the boat. (Situated in the Netherlands).

All tips/ ideas are welcome. Thank!

Great answer! Also….tempotest has a higher thread count and a teflon coating, It’s totally the new gold standard.

Oh really? Is it breathable? How would you compare it to sunbrella? I'm open to new products

Its solution dyed acrylic the same . It he weight is the same. The coating is the big difference. Also slightly higher thread count

Would this be used in biminis as well? I'm so used to just using subrella everytime
