Steve, I used one of the dust covers on my new Puma until my Aurora arrived. The one I used was far from waterproof though and all of the boats outside at the dealer that had them were very wet inside. You can tow with one but they will not stand up to nearly as many trips as a Aurora or a Deans. As Mike stated, they are great for indoors and have a soft lining. I am not sure of the cost of these dust covers or who makes them for BCB but I am sure they can help you with this. Once you get a cost, you will have to make a value judgement on a dust cover vs. a real cover. By the way, I am only about an hour from Fork and I can verify that it can get duaty at times. If I can help with you r trip, let me know!
