SS 203 mooring cover

I just ordered a new SS 203. I do not like snap on covers. Any recommendations for a cover that has a ratchet strap rather than rope? We live in Florida and it will live in a boat lift exposed to a very direct west sunset.

Obviously Hurricane doesn't offer what you're looking for and I doubt there is an aftermarket solution either (At least none I've seen). Your best bet might be to see if there is a marine upholstery shop in your area. Any marina will have connections to services like this and hopefully good recommendations.My previous boat needed a replacement cover (the original wasn't a mooring cover, it was a trailer cover). I decided to leave my boat in a slip for the season and needed a new cover to assume "mooring" duties. However, I also wanted the flexibility of being able to trailer the boat with the cover on (snaps alone wouldn't work), I went to a local marine upholstery shop, that was highly recommended, and got a cover that was the best of both worlds, chose Sunbrella fabric and could not have been happier. The shop owner was very flexible in the way I wanted the cover to function, offered great suggestions (based on "tried and true" experience) and seemed very experienced in designing it (she probably has heard it all over the years}. It had a combination of snaps and rope and functioned perfectly for me (not necessarily what you probably want to hear) The cover ran about $600.00.Just a suggestion.2012 SD237 I/O Mercruiser 5.0L MPI ECT/ Bravo 32012 Load Rite Elite Tandem axle trailer
