    Here is a picture of a transport cover that I made for swvski1. It is lined with various materials to protect the cover and the upholstery. It is water proof and can be towed in the rain without getting the inside wet.

    A cover like this would be expensive to buy so I bought a walking foot sewing machine and paid for it with the first cover. I have built 3 covers and upholstered one boat. It is clean work and fun.

    I now have two machines, one at her house and one at mine. If anyone is interested we can get into details of which machine and material and how to do it.

    Here is the picture of the cover for my boat. It is contoured to fit around the ski Pylon leaving it exposed, it keeps it flat when towing with it.

    PS It is a bit dirty in this picture

    I like that. I need a new cover and I think I will copy that one.
