Waterproof boat covers protect your investment and give you peace of mind because you know your boat is safe from water damage while it’s in storage.

What’s so important about buying a boat cover that’s waterproof? After all, your boat is made to be in the water! Well, you’d be surprised at just how important it is to have a waterproof boat cover.

For starters, boats, whether in storage or just covered up for a day, need to be protected like anything else. Boats that are not covered with waterproof material run the risk of the following:

  • Mildew and mold growth
  • Moisture build up
  • Sun damage
  • Scratches or tears from debris/wind/inclement weather

In fact, boat covers are not made from your standard textile. Boat covers are often designed and developed using specialty fabrics that are created to be waterproof and mildew resistant. It’s important to keep that in mind, especially if you’re tempted to use a cover that’s not engineered for boats.

Waterproof boat covers protect your investment and give you peace of mind because you know your boat is safe from water damage while it’s in storage. That being said, where can you find quality boat cover material? At Herculite Inc., marine fabrics are a specialty. In fact, Herculite offers boat owners its Weblon Regatta Marine Fabric.
