Budge B-1221-X6 Gray 20'-22' Long (Beam Width Up to 106") Boat Cover

The 24' to 26' cover fits my 25' center console t-top Seafox amazingly with enough cover left to go over the motors. I will upday after more time has gone by. Day one 01-06-2019.It's now Oct 8-2021 and this cover is still doing its job. It a bit damaged by the sun and high winds but I have definitely got my money worth so far..

I purchased this in November 2016 and installed it on my boat in December of 2016. Seemed like a very decent cover for the price. However, after the first winter snow, I discovered that I needed to add 2 support poles centered on the bow to prevent the cover from sagging and holding a ton of water on the bow. My boat is a Tiara Pursuit 2600. Two Vico marine vent 3 units with support poles solved the problem. Not such a big deal, just about sixty dollars more in total. UPDATE: In Feb 2017, I went to check on my boat after a light snow, and make some adjustments to the cover if needed. While tightening a strap under the bow, sure enough - the cheaply stitched buckle ripped right off. I was not using an excessive amount of pressure either - it just was not sewed strongly enough. So from there I tied the nylon strap directly to the bungee, but that looks like it wants to rip itself out of the cover's stitching as well. Supposedly these covers have a manufacturers warranty of 5 or 7 years. We'll see how that goes and then I'll update the review again.

This cover is nice and heavy. The measurements seem very good. I have a Whaler outrage 19, which has low gunnels, so it barely made the distance for me. But that's not the covers fault. Everything else good fit. Material has a rubberized coating on inside. This makes it very hard to install by yourself, as it doesn't pull easy, coating grabs. Tie downs work good, two more would have been perfect. I will add. This is my preliminary review, let's see how it does all winter. Much better than a tarp, and anymore than one season, cheaper than shrink wrapping. Don't buy bigger than you need. My boats 18'6", bought correct size, and it even covered motor.

The fit was great. I have a hardtop, split rail and the cover pulls snug over everything including the motor. The VHF antenna screws on/off the mounting. I assume radar (dome) will be OK under it, I opted for the full cover vs. the under t-top design. The under-top design might have been better overall, so that anything mounted on the t-top is exposed but unaffected by the cover - for instance if you have the open array you would definitely want the collared design under t-top. No removal of the antenna either.I installed on a moderately warm day and it got really hot inside the cover in seconds. The vents are pretty lame but the air gaps around the motor provide ventilation. It could use venting up at the bow to allow through flow of air. I will probably devise something for that purpose later.The real test is New England winter...

So far, so good. I have a 1984 Mako 238 w/ T-Top and bought this cover for it. I covered the boat by myself, it took a little time, but it is manageable. Two people is better. It fits good and the straps make it secure. It also covers the outboard. It seems to be of good quality and the price was good. How long it will last, time will tell.

Took delivery less than a month ago. Went on great. Had a few rain showers after install and this material is obviously only water resistant at best. Got drips coming through the material. It seems to get saturated eventually and lets water permeate and then drip. Keeping the bilge dry during a freeze is not going to happen with this top unfortunately. I haven’t yet observed any mildew but I can’t imagine it’s not a setup for that too.Will be hunting for something else for next winter. Might keep my wood pile somewhat dry at best.Dissatisfied.

This is a good top but it has its issues too. I have had to go through two in one year. I sent the first one back for a refund and got a second one to try one more time. It has worked well but the little things like certain seams have some issues. I guess like everything in this world it was rushed through to save money. The top is good though. It just truly should be better. I don’t see it lasting 5 years, I’m guessing it makes it 2 years and will need the seams redone or similar.

Pretty easy to install, do need at least two people.First time using this cover have been shrink wrapping the past 9 years. Did have to make a support for top white navigation light on tee top.Picking the right size was a guess. I have a 25’ CC Held up to first snow storm. May need adjustments down the road. Price was great , hopefully this was a good choice.Every year it last saves shrink wrap money.

The sizing is way off . My boat is 19ft , the 18-20 cover is at least 23 feet . The straps are too far back from the bow to get a proper hold . The clips are cheap and pop off in high wind . They loosen off quickly as well causing a pool on the bow .I would give it 5 stars if the clips were suited for the job and the sizing was proper , I would have returned it immediately had I know I would come back after a month to a soaked messy boat under the cover .

We were very surprised and pleased with the quality and size of this cover. We have a 25 1/2 foot Trophy with rails. Width it really is at its maximum because of the rails but could actually even cover the outboard length wise. The straps are great and very generous in length. I had an marine upholstery place quote me $3000 to have a cover made to fit. This was a great fit for a fraction of the cost.

It seems like good quality and arrived quickly.I put it on by my self but with anther person it would have been a lot quicker.Doesn’t fit my boat perfectly but then I didn’t expect it to. I have a 25-foot boat with a 3-foot swim platform a radar arch and railing around the bow.Over the years I have tarped my boat with big tarps from the hardware and have had it shrink-wrapped.Shrink-wrapping is the best but costly every year, between $500 and $600 per year.

I chose to go with this version in 1200 denier cloth. It’s heavy, but once it’s on that’s a good thing. I was impressed with the design, heavy taped seams in the right places, covers for the clips, vents, strong elastic cord on the bottom edge, and even a swatch of fabric for future repairs. I was really impressed with how well it fit as my boat is a little different than most with a custom radar arch. Light rain beads up well on the fabric.

I ordered the 1200 fabric cover over the 600 and the seams are taped. Doesn't leak and I have a 2008 Stingray 250 CS mid size Cruiser, which it fits well. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this large cover to you. It is keeping the sun and rain out and came in a large sleeping bag type package. Thicker fabric weights more but it is built very well and won't tear. If you're wondering if this cover is thick and built well-put your mind at ease...it is! Order it - you won't be disappointed! My boat is exactly 25 feet and this cover fits quite well - if your boat is longer than 26 feet though this might not work but is described as a 24 - 26 foot cover and that is correct. I can leave my full Bimini top up and it covers no problem!
