[QUOTE="great white, post: 309808, member: 6238"] Boat cover is underway: [img]https://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e235/gr8twhite/Private/boat/dads%20build/800x600/c932a4b0-b97e-4ae6-98e9-ff6dfc8ad955_zps8761d6df.jpg[/img] [img]https://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e235/gr8twhite/Private/boat/dads%20build/800x600/e0effd44-51da-4af0-b752-bd6e4afabf1e_zps970ffb1d.jpg[/img] [img]https://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e235/gr8twhite/Private/boat/dads%20build/800x600/789ccd47-a13b-4102-bd22-71dbcb6a2644_zps7797d6f9.jpg[/img] I've got the shape right and you can see the first hem is done. Next I'll stitch on the rear panel and fit it to the boat and have a special bit to pop up and around/over the outboard. When that's done, the hem that you see gets rolled up over a large piece of bungee that will go around the perimeter of the gunnel and stitched into a pocket. I'll add somewhere around 6 tabs loops of webbing to each side to bungee down to the trailer. Finally, I'll stitch up a "bra" to cover the front and "wing" out to cover the lower bow from stones. It will also help to keep air sneaking up under the cover from the front. :) [/QUOTE]
