Swimstep and Transom Cover

Just had a cover made for my new SeaDek Swimstep cover as it gets pretty dirty outside, lots of birds ect.. Also had a transom cover made to protect the chrome and back from fading. Had Cory at Evolution Covers make them out of Sunbrella. I had one on my Mastercraft that had a teak swimstep and by using the Swimstep cover when the boat was outside in the sun and rain it really cut down on the times I had to re-oil the swimstep.

The swimstep cover was about $65. Fits like a glove.

I would love to have one of those! I'm in Illinois, do you think he would do one and ship it to me? The place I store my boat has cats for the mice, and they think the swimdeck on my Epic should be a scratch pad. Luckily I caught it quick and covered it up, but that thing would be much easier.

I had 3 foot skirting added all the way around my last boat cover. It covered the swim deck and all sides/transom.

That is awesome, I should contact them and see if they have any solutions for a swim platform cover for a boat that stays in the water...

im surprised how many covers dont cover the platform, the one we got with the boat did, and the one we just had made covers. its just continuous and tightens under the platform. and reason why the arent all like that??

Putting on the cover while the boat is in the water...If you never do this it's a great option, but like we do when we vacation we leave the boat in all week and cover it at night
