Ever wonder why some boats stay looking brand new while others age ten years in one summer?

Ever wonder why some boats stay looking brand new while others age ten years in one summer? It’s rarely about how often you polish the gel coat and almost always about what you do when you’re not on the water. If you're leaving your V-hull exposed to the harsh Aussie sun and the salt air, you're basically asking for paint fade and brittle upholstery. We’ve been using the 190T Polyester V-Hull Boat Cover for our 16-18 footers lately. It’s light enough to toss on solo after a weekend session, but it actually holds up against the elements. Keeps the dust out, keeps the UV off, and makes the next trip out a hell of a lot cleaner. It's one of those simple bits of kit that saves you a few hours of scrubbing when you’d rather be out on the bay. - Rectangular Marine Deck Access Hatch — $174.95 (https://trueoutdoors.com.au/product/6a9a88a79fcbce30e5280683) See the full collection at True Outdoors.
