I need a cover for a Sport 200V.

[House324]

I just bought a 200V with FCT3 tower. My current cover is the factory cover that secures snuggly under the rub rail and has two ratcheting buckles at the stern. I really like the cover, but I live in a very hot part of California and my cover is black. I don't want to use a dark cover in the intense heat. I've had previous boats develop spider cracks in the gelcoat on the cap rail from cooking in the heat. Plus I'm sure it adds a lot of heat to everything else in the interior

I'd like to find a good deal on a light grey or white cover that is similar to the factory one. Does anyone have a light colored cover they want to trade for a black one. My current one is in prefect shape because the previous owner kept it indoors.

I don't trailer my boat with a cover, so I'd also consider a cover that would allow me to fold down the tower underneath the cover if it's even possible. The boat is new to me, so I'm looking for ideas.

Thanks for any help,

Jeff

I've always used Evolution Covers for my upgrade/replacements. I love the poleless design and attention to detail that he puts into building the covers. Cory (the owner) doesn't have an active template for the Sport 200 at the moment, but he is working with a guy in Seattle (his homebase) on mocking up a template with his boat. I think this might be a very good option for you. I'm in the market to find a Sport 200 ('11-'14) myself and will be buying a cover off of him as soon as I buy/find my boat. Feel free to give him a call as he is very helpful with any all questions, cover related.

Thank you. Good luck finding a boat. It took me a while to find the boat I was looking for.

I met with Cory yesterday and he took measurements of my 200V. He should be able to crank these out soon although he said he is booked out until about November right now. Truly a top quality cover and i can't wait to get my new cover.

FWIW, I had a custom, black Sunbrella cover made for my first new Nauti back in 2005. Only problem was that where the cover touched my upholstery, it literally baked it. Ruined....

I ended up doing this: I draped towels (same ones I wiped the boat down with) over any areas that would come into contact with the cover before covering it. Problem solved. No need for a new cover.
