shipping cover will give you many miles more than 500 if cared for!

If you gotta use the cover for that long haul get a roll of saran wrap and run it along the gunwales.

I agree, NO cover. When I pulled my Couger home the first day it was raining and I used the Deans cover. After I got home I realized the straps left marred spots where they touched the gel coat. Took me some elbow grease and rubbing compound to remove the bad areas.Enjoy your new boat!!!

Picked up my new to me 2006 Pantera Classic in Reno, NV the first week in March of this year. Pouring rain and some snow on the way back home (460+ miles) and going over two mountain passes over 9,000ft. A quick wash with the hose and a wipe down and it looked like it had never left the garage. Its a boat, its supposed to get wet.

Spent today cleaning and drying out my boat from a trip up there…..Ive towed with and without covers. Basically comes down to which you want to wash, the boat or the cover.Boat is easier to clean, imho.96 Eyra/12 Mercury 175 Pro XS with 2015 single axle trailer2017 Victory Gunner

I never tow with a cover. Doesnt take long to clean it up when you get where you are going. I use a BCB dust cover when I park the boat outside overnight at a motel, etc.
