I bought their relatively cheap tarp cover. About $200. Cut to fit, put on sticky velcro that comes off. I wasn't happy with it. I was going to buy a fitted cover, for big bucks, but now I park the boat inside. |

So I've tried various home store tarps and haven't really found a great option. The best I have had is on that over laps the front rear and sides of the boat that I I then cut slits to fit the wing brackets. This way the tarp fit sung to the trampoline. The tarps are cheap and need to be replaced every hear. I looked at a few online, but they look like the same cheap material. I'm thinking of going to a canvas shop to have a good one made. Too bad Hobie doesn't offer a nice fitted tarp. I would buy it. |

It is less expensive to have a canvas shop make a custom one in your area. The custom ones were in the $500 ish range. |
