I wanted to work on my own boat today so sunday I need to make a mooring cover pattern sunday at the shop , but today was for me. I made a aft curtain mainly to keep the rain water weight out of my boat when its on it boat lift. the boats 5500pound dry and with the amout of rain that can fall in a short time in the summer here I thought it best. plus my coaming pads will stay nice. I made it to fit with my aft flyshade also .
Its a large cover so I used recacril so I wouldn't have any future streach sag. most customer I see have shrinkage . I have a  wide span with no snaps at the stern across the motors with its own slack so I didn't want any extra.




the shade top attaches to the top with LTD's so the aft curtain is under it with straps and sidere;ease buckles to the grabrail on the arch. makes for good air ventilation at the top with some overhang of the hardtop to keep the rain out






the rear shade is supported with boat hook straps for support are optional.
also installed and snaked the cable for a new 8 foot vhf antenna on the port side arch
