Transhield 23' - 25' V Bow Wake Tower Boat Cover | Covers 100% of The Boat Above The Rub Rail | UV Resistant Marine Heavy Duty Waterproof | Fits V-Hull Ski Boats (Fits V Bow 23', 24' & 25')

I have a 2006 Malibu vride (21.5 ft) with the Illusion Tower and it fits over everything nicely (including the swim deck) and keeps everything nice and dry. It could be a few feet smaller, but I just fold and bungee up the excess in the front and it looks fine, but I suspect this would fit nicely over the 23-24 foot boats a little better. With the tower up and Bimini on, it's full coverage and great angles so the rain doesn’t pool (using a single rope from the tower to the nose to keep it from sagging into the bow). Thick strong plastic so no rain can get through and also protects it from the sun. It has 2 breathers on the top that seem to be water proof, but with it going over the swim deck I think air can still get in, to keep it breathing nicely. I wouldn’t tow with it on, other than short/slow trips, but it’s perfect for storage and rain protection, which is what I got it for, so it’s a good value for the money.

This thing rocks! I spent years working through different cover options that could stand up to the Pacific NW wet winter weather and have always had issues with moisture collection and spring mildew with other covers- and none of the others covered the tower, which was an entirely other issue to contend with. So far this gem has checked all the boxes. Waterproof, breathing vents, shrinkable, covers the tower, solid quality material etc... Only had this on a few weeks since arrival, but so far not a drop of condensation on the interior so it is doing its job. I also took a leap by ordering one size larger than what should fit my boat. Have a 21’ and 22’6” to the back of the swim step. The recommended size was the 21-23’ product. However, I did not want to remove my Bimini frame if I could help it, as it’s a pain in the butt to get leveled back out exactly how I like it. The verdict: with the larger size my Bimini frame is covered with no issues! The only caveat is there is more than ideal material at the stern that needs to be pulled down below the hull and tied off to the trailer. The extra 2 minutes of crawling around underneath to tie everything off is well worth the trade-off of having the Bimini covered up. I do recommend having multiple support poles, or other apparatus under the cover to eliminate any pooling of water. I used standard poles near the stern next to the engine compartment and grabbed two 3/4” diameter PVC pipes and bent them into a rainbow shape to support the cover over the bow. Added note- I did not use a shrink gun on this (yet) as I am periodically checking for moisture as this is the first year using this cover. If all goes well this season I may do that in the future once I have some concrete evidence that I don’t need to worry about getting under the cover mid-winter to check/clear out any moisture. All in all, highly recommended. Great price, great product!

Good quality, shrank up very well. Takes a while to learn how much heat you can put on it (a lot) to get it to shrink, but once you figure that out and the right technique the shrinking actually goes pretty fast. Definitely need a propane torch to shrink though. Only put two small holes in it near the rear of the boat, must either be thinner back there or had extra heat concentration when I was shrinking around the guide poles. Only real complaint is that my boat is about 24.5' including the swim platform, and this cover was at least two to three feet too long. Had to really cinch up the rear with the draw cord, and tie it around the back of the trailer to try to suck it up a bit. If I were to do it again I would order one size smaller to not end up with so much extra material at both the bow and the stern of the boat. I'd rather it fit a little snugger before shrinking, but I'm very happy with how it turned out in the end. Definitely beat payong $400-500 to have it single use shrink wrapped. Hopefully I can reuse this cover for a number of winters to come.

Have to say I'm very impressed so far. It's significantly more expensive than the previous covers I've purchased. Those only lasted 2-3 years each time. Based on the quality, I have higher hopes for this one. The top side is a white plastic material and the bottom side has a soft felt-like material. Fitment: I have a 1994 Rinker Flotilla (24' deck boat) with Ski tower and added a 3-ft swim platform. I bought the Wide Bow 25-27ft model. I wish it was 2-3 inches longer, but I can stretch/pull it over the front lip and back swim platform. I'm really hoping it doesn't shrink any in the summer sun. If so, I'll have to skip covering my swim platform, which should be fine. I pulled and tied the rear drawstring closed, but then got distracted and forgot to tie down the sides. In this state (without the sides tied down), it survived a couple of days of STRONG Kansas spring winds before I remembered to check on it. It remained covering the front at back lips without the sides tied down! I was impressed. Better than I imagined. Assuming I get at least 5 years out of this cover, I wouldn't hesitate to buy it again. Update: It's been a couple of weeks now, and I'm kicking myself for not buying this cover sooner. LOVE IT! The pictures are AFTER I shrunk portions of it with heat. I used a "Flame King Propane Torch Kit" (found here on Amazon for $43) instead of the traditional $500 heat gun they use for these. It was very sensitive to overheating and melting when using the incorrect tool for the job, like I did here, but it got the job done. Maybe you could ask your local marina to borrow their heat gun...OR see what they'd charge to heat it for you? I burnt through in a couple of small spots (see picture). I see Transhield sells a "Transtape", but I could not find where to buy it. So, I patched my holes with Gorilla Tape for now. BTW: Transhield if you're listening... Maybe consider a new name for the tape. My wife now wants to know why "transgender tape" is in my search history. If you try this heating method, remember to move the flame constantly with a circular or waving motion using several passes. Easy to come back and add more heat, but impossible to take it away! I could see these spots I overheated melting and oozing a few seconds after I removed the heat. So, that's why several passes worked best for me. It gave the material a few moments to do its thing while I could see it transform. If you have more patience than me, which you probably do, you'll do just fine with this method. Because I already had a tight fit front to back, I only shrunk the portions near the middle that were sagging and collecting water when raining. After shrinking it, I love the fit! I suspect it fits so well now that I no longer need ropes or supports under the cover. I can only think of one thing I would change. I would prefer the drawstring to be in the front. This works great as-is when the boat is on a trailer, it be an acrobatic challenge to get this tightened when the boat is on a boat lift since there's nothing to stand on behind the lift. I doubt it'll fit backwards, but maybe something to try if you have a boat lift. Lastly, I love that the instruction video shows how to tie the knots. I thought the knots wouldn't be very strong and I'd have to buy straps. The knots are very simple, elegant, and efficient.

Love this cover, this is the second one I bout, the first lasted 4 seasons in NE winter weather, shrinks down to fit perfect then comes off in the spring. The cost is lower than a single shrink wrap and you get at least four or five seasons out of it, good deal.

The first one I ordered 6 years ago fit my sanger 215 like a glove! went from the bow and just over swim platform prefect. it lasted all this time. its an amazing cover that keeps out the farming fine talc dust that gets thru sunbrella as well as keeping out the rain. when storing the boat long term some mold will appear but I learned if you are diligent with keeping and replacing large tubs of descant from "Home Depot" that doesn't happen. my boat is 21.5ft not including the platform, but the last 2 I ordered were way too big and had to return them. I ordered the 21-23 but it was way too long and wide. 2 feet past the swim platform! and almost covered the trailer tires. I thing they are sending the larger ones because maybe they don't have the smaller ones. I guess ill just keep ordering and returning until they get it right!

My '05 SAN210 with swim platform is 22.75' end to end so I chose the 21-23' cover. The cover is massive! A bit too large, but I suppose larger is better than too small. The cover fits over the winch and back under the swim platform with like 2 feet to spare, and wraps fully under the sides. I do like that the sides of the boat will be covered for the winter. I did not shrink the wrap, it fits OK as-is. Time will tell whether the cover holds up to the elements. The cover is same material as regular shrink wrap but has a soft fuzzy white lining. Installation was easy. Took me about 45 minutes start to finish. I tied support ropes from the tower to the bow and stern. With the belly straps tightened, there are no areas that can pool water, and since the outer surface is plastic I don't expect snow will be able to accumulate. I am hoping to be able to re-use the cover and get at least 2 seasons from it. Regardless, since the going rate here is $400 to shrink wrap I've come out ahead just this year alone.

Easy install and excellent system to tie it down. Seems to be pretty heavy duty, but we will see. It is about to encounter Wyoming wind, high altitude sun and horizontal ice this upcoming winter. I will be happy if it survives one year in this harsh climate.
