Not enough space for that and my neighborhood likely wouldn't allow it anyway. Thanks

I went ahead and ordered a cover from National Covers. It says it'll ship in 5-7 business days which is so much faster than other I looked at. Of course they then note in the confirmation of the order that it could take longer because of COVID and Holiday Sales surge. We will see .....

Guess I could shrink wrap it for now. Will keep that in mind if I order a cover and it looks like it'll take a while to get it. Thanks for the idea.

Well, I went back on iBoats and found one for the 2015 Grizzly 1448 which may be the right one. Suspect the 1448 MVX didn't change in 2 years, at least enough to affect fit of a boat cover. I may get the single vented support pole and use that instead of my pedestal seats to hold it up in the...

Decided to move my jon boat out the garage, but I want to put a quality cover on it to protect from rain and snow here in Virginia. Went to iBoat and a couple of other sites and don't see one that is specific to my boat. Concerns me to buy a "generic fit" cover. Mine has folding pedestal seat...

Hi, just got a new/used fishing boat after about 10years off the water. Happy to be back and my young son is ready to fish. We ended up buying a used 2017 Tracker Grizzly 1448, wanted the stability with my son on-board. But it is a heavy boat. Going to be a bit more difficult for me to deal...
