Re: Covered or Uncovered
I tried using a nice canvas type cover but I got moldy seats real quik. I always made sure to leave it out to dry real good before covering too. Must be the humidity around here. I sold the cover and then a bought a shelter logic shelter for it. That seems to work the best for me. The first toon i had fit rite in it just as it was when I bought. My new toon sits much higher so I had to buy 10 more sections of the poles to make it taller. Works great. Having the sides open keeps some airflow in there too.

Ilike the shelter logic shelter, I may look in to that. I am sure there are ways to anchor it so it doesn't become a UFO!!!!ROBBSRACINGENGINES wrote:I tried using a nice canvas type cover but I got moldy seats real quik.

Re: Covered or Uncovered
unless I'm coming back to the boat later in the day or the next day it's always under cover of some sort (mooring cover or full enclosure) to protect it, help prevent theft, etc. I spent good money on my boat so I figure 10 minutes a day to cover it is time well spent to help protect it. Plus we get some good hail here in CO and that crap will do a number on vinyl.
The air is dry enough and warm enough in the summer that I don't have to worry about mold and mildew even if the flooring is wet from tubing and swimming although I try to plan the day so she's pretty dry when covered.

Re: Covered or Uncovered
I keep mine covered. I had one made last fall out of the breathable sumbrella stuff and so far I am happy with it. I also don't have a lot of high humidity so if it gets covered wet it just drys out.
