Just bought a 2013 legend 16 footer and I’m looking at getting a custom cover for it. I have no garage so it has to sit in the driveway. Will custom cover be ok for winter for snow or do I have to buy something else for it? Also does anyone know the name and number of the custom guy in Brampton ? Thanks Kevin G

Id wrap it in a tarp just to protect the cover itself and the boat too. Get one on sale it's an easy way to protect it each winter.

my last 3 boats I have made a teepee type of frame and put blue tarp over it and use bungee to tie it down. I use the wood over and over and the tarps typically last several years. I take the summer top and put it in the basement so it last for a longer time.

If you can keep the outboard inside would be good, I used to have a boat kept in the driveway and always put motor in the garage.
For winter can flip the board on a tarp and cover it too.
My current boat I installed a swing tongue and can fit in the garage now and that's much better and don't have to remove outboard all the time.

I have a similar frame as sabmgb and it works great.
Here's the info for a cover

X 2 for sure. He has done two tops for me and am very happy with them.
