THoughts about it, and planned it out, but haven't gone through with =
having an estimate made up just yet. Our thought was leave the boom in =
its lower position, and using snaps around the outside of the cockpit =
and aft with the cover going over and across the boom. Down behind the =
main sheet with a zip together assembly. Than snapping the forward end =
just above the forward cabin ports. If you have boom room snaps on your =
boat, you would realize exactly how well it could fit, we would use =
those existing snaps for Bulldog. The cockpit is the area on the boat =
that we clean every week and its just as filthy as ever each time. =
Cockpit cover would be a real time saver.=20
