    Light Weight Boat Cover for 2006 198

    I have a real heavy duty cover now. I keep the boat on my boat lift from about April through November but it is a pain in the rear end to get on and off. Does a great job however. Anybody have a recommendation for a light weight cover that they put on their 198 Champion or for that matter any real world knowledge of a good light weight cover that will fit this boat. I have a nice motor cover so covering outboard is not necessary. The boat is under a covered dock so it is not directly out in the elements.

    Boat is a 2006 198 Dual console.

    Thank you
    Rich

    Bass Pro has some, the cheaper ones are thinner and I would think fairly light weight.

    Westland may still make a custom fit for the 198.
    I have mine under a carport with one and like the fit and light weight of it.
    I don't remember where I ordered from, maybe i-boats or similar.

    Check the Westland site, looks like they make one for several Champ models, depending on year.

    So, I also have a 2006 198 dual console. I checked Westland and they only went up to 2004 on the year. I have to imagine a 2004 and 2006 dual console 198 have all the same contours- right?

    Consoles are different, but that may not make much difference in a cover which is not 100% custom.
