New Universal Boat Covers added to our Boat Cover Line-up

If you've visited SavvyBoater.com, you probably noted that we have a good selection of boat covers at very reasonable prices. we've been spending some time this winter expanding both our Boat Cover offerings and the support materials that will help you find the cover that is just right for your boat and needs.

Among our new additions to our Universal Boat Cover Section are the 4 boat cover lines in the Taylor Made boat Guard Universal Boat Cover line.

The Boat Guard RainBreaker Boat Cover offers a simple, economical mooring and storage cover. Made from 70 denier polyester, it is a light weight easy to manage cover designed to protect your boat from moderate elements as well as dirt and debris. It is available in 6 size / style combination to provide protection for many of the popular boat styles.



The classic Boatguard Universal Boat Cover steps up to 11 styles and offers a number of great features that make Taylor Made covers an industry leader. These include 4 ply seams, double folded hems, sewn in tied downs loops and a 2 year warranty.



The premium Eclipse Boatguard Universal Boat Covers step it up even further. The Eclipse boat covers are made from Taylor Made's Hotshot acrylic coated polyester fabric in a striking two-tone black and gray design and comes with a five year warranty. These boat covers feature sewn-in air vents, reinforced tie-down loops and each cover order includes tie-downs, a support pole and a storage bag. While the cover is premium, the price isn't.



We're also offering the Taylor Made BoatGuard SST Self Supporting Technology universal boat covers. The SST Universal covers feature a unique, patented support system where flexible fiberglass poles slide into sewn in pockets in the cover ,creating a fairly rigid arched support under the cover. Designed for V-Hull Runabouts and Cuddy Cabins, these are an interesting solution to the boat cover support question.



In addition to the Taylor Made Boat Guard Universal Boat Covers, we also offer Carver Covers Flex-fit universal boat covers as well as Wolf Covers Harbor Shell universal boat cover line. we've got fantastic prices on Wolf Covers heavy weight Mariner mooring and storage cover in our clearance section.



When you're looking for a new boat cover, think SavvyBoater.com.

Investing to Protect Your Dock & Boat

It's getting towards the end of the ice season (to the joy of many boaters) But I finally did some catch up reading and ran across an article of interest.

If you've bought, built or rent dock space, you know it is a real investment. If you live in many places in the country, you're probably familiar with the kind of havoc that ice can raise. I ran across a great article "Storm Proofing a Marina Can Get Very Costly" by JoAnn W. Goddard in the December issue of the boating industry magazine Trade Only. According to the article, ice causes millions of dollars in damage to docks and marinas each year.

If this article doesn't help you understand the value of investing in ice protection for your dock or boat, nothing will. Marine de-icers are definitely an investment but compare the outlay to the cost of resetting all your pilings, replacing your dock structures or any of the other imaginable. Visit our Dock and Marina De-icer Section at SavvyBoater.com and compare all the major brands. We offer the full catalog of PowerHouse Ice Eaters de-icers, accessories and de-icer parts. We have a wide selection of the popular Kasco Marine De-icers and Pyramid Tech's innovative oil free de-icer line.
