Owning a boat can be a great pleasure and a great achievement. Keeping a boat in great shape can be an even greater achievement since it involves a great deal of time, effort and money. Boats require constant attention. So one of the first things you need to consider after you've purchased your boat is protecting it from the onslaughts of nature.

Deciding on the Type of Center Console Boat Cover

The best center console boat cover is one that will ensure total protection from all types of harm that nature can cause to the boat. You will need to consider rain, UV rays, moisture build-up, and dust-dirt-debris floating in the air, in addition to possible thieves. A center console boat cover should ensure that your boat is protected from these events. There are also concerns regarding high variations of temperature, exposure to snow and wind loaded with sand and other particles.

UV ray protection: There is nothing more harmful than the sun beating down mercilessly on your unprotected boat. Continuous exposure to sun will badly affect both the upholstery and the console. This will ensure that the sun's direct rays do not reach the sensitive parts of the boat and cause expensive or irreparable damage.

Rain protection: Rain can be a great enemy of anything remaining stationery and unattended. The modern center console boat covers available on the market today not only protect the boat from rain, they also allow air to circulate on the boat and permit moisture helps to evaporate.

Debris protection: Dust can be another enemy that diminishes the longevity of the boat. If the boat is exposed to dust and pollutants over a long period of time, it can develop mildew and mold and the dirt build-up can be extremely difficult to remove.

Thieves and invaders protection: a snugly-fitting center console boat cover will ensure that your boat is protected to a great extent against thieves. Of course, a cover is not designed to give full protection in this regard, but if fitted well, it can reduce the chance of theft.

It will act as a protector from the vagaries of nature, reduce your maintenance costs and ensure that your boat has a long life.

All the woodwork on the boat should be varnished every year to keep it looking smart, though check with the specification of the varnish to see whether it needs to be carried more or less regularly. Brasswork and Chromework should also be kept polished, not only to keep it looking good but also to stop deterioration.

Seychelles or Maldives?

Can anyone offer their opinion or experience in cruising either of these places? I understand that both are beautiful but can be pretty expensive. My wife and I are looking for somewhere to sit out a change of seasons between Sept and Jan before heading up the Red Sea in time for a Med spring/summer (during our Indian Ocean crossing from Oz).

You’ve researched a lot of Pontoon Boat Enclosure prices and you can’t help but balk. It seems like even if you’re looking at used boats, they’re just so much money! You’d rather spend the time and make your own DIY pontoon boats. How do you even go about doing this?
