Ill throw in another vote for the dust cover. I ordered a Deans cover for my first two Cats. While it is a very well built cover, it finally dawned on me that I dont need to spend the money for one. I never tow with a cover on, just use it like you want to do at motels, etc. So for my 09CougarFTD, I bought a dust cover. It works great. Plus if you wanted to, you could tow with it on the boat as long as you had it really tight.
