Boat cover suggestion

[rojo4]

Occasionally i have to leave my boat in the water overnight and uncovered. I currently have a heavy duty boat cover that covers top to bottom. However this is not practical when the boat is moored. Can anyone suggest a cover that is lightweight, waterproof, fitted, portable and goes down to about the rub rail? I'm trying to avoid a cockpit cover, and the need for installing snaps. Your feedback is appreciated.

I believe it was in a Ski Limited catalog. They had a cover like you described that attaches with large suction cups at the rub rail

Obviously putting snaps on the boat is a last resort for most. The best covers that I've seen use the ss rails if your
boat has them and they cover the boat and then a flap maybe 6" long goes under the rails and then flips over on
top of itself and snaps onto itself. in other words, you
don't put snaps on the boat, you put them on the cover,
if it's a v bottom boat, and if the positiion of the rails
permits, use them, then goto the front of the boat and put
a piece of material that goes to your bow eye, this will usually take care of the front end, then cover the cockpit
and there is always something to build around such as ski tows and trailering loops, cleats etc. to tie to.
If none of this works, a great number of offshore boats have little 10" long, 3" in diameter sand bags made and you simply fill them with sand and then hang them over the edge but out of the water wherever you need to weigh down the cover. call me if you need more help.

I like the idea of the open bow cover. If we get caught in a T-storm. We have the bimini to shed some of the rain, but don't have anything for the front and the water just water falls into the boat.

Great! I am checking into these options now. Thanks again.

I had a cover made, for that reason.
It hooks to the back grab handles, then to the front cleats.
Seems to work for overnight or lite rain.
Also used it in hotel parking lots the few times I towed the boat out of Havasu.
