boat cover surprise

with the purchase of new to me 2006 mainship rumrunner came a custom winter cover that snaps all the way around under the rubrail . it fits like a glove with an easy 2 person installation. the previous owner sent it to me he had forgot about it during the deal .

That was a nice little bonus but why do you cover the boat in winter?

We all cover our boats up north in the winter.

Jamie, with or without the cover on that's a really good looking boat! I love the hull color.

Hi fellow Mainshipper, nice boat and cover. How did you get the boat to your driveway?

Unlike the "snow" Miami is used to, we often get three feet of the real stuff in a day;

Wow that is really nice. something like that would cost THOUSANDS to have made. I sure do like your boat.

The hull color looks completely different in the different pictures. Is it Navy or a lighter more medium blue? it looked more medium in your speedy you tube videos.

Jamie,
Toured your province this summer in our Travel Trailer, fantastic place. We thoroughly enjoyed our time there, and the rest of the Maritimes.

Ours came with a skookum cover too. Will come in handy for those days when it snow 3 to 4 feet overnight;

It's amazing what some owners forget to tell prospective buyers, as Jennifer said that cover's probably worth thousands to have made. When I bought our present boat we haggled for three months before agreeing on a figure, only to find the boat had completely full fuel tanks. There was over 2,000 litres(500 gallons) of free fuel he had forgotten about, that's about $3,500.

Jamie's boat reminds me of John Baker, one of the originators of this forum - anyone know what happened to them, he and Doug seem to have dropped off along the way...?
