Looking for 250 SHO vented cover, yamaha branded, reasonably priced

[bbarthelt]

After fishing Lake Clinton in central IL a couple weeks ago, I put a couple gnarly blemishes in my cowling from standing timber in a cove. I think it's time to protect my investment.

Have any of you found an always-on, vented cover for your 250 SHO (or similar) that you feel is a) high quality, b) reasonably priced, and c) has the Yamaha SHO branding/logo on it? Strangely this seems like a hard combination to find.

The branding is likely the hardest part. Tuffskins says Yamaha won't allow them to use factory logos.

I'm probably going with an RMP cover for the price.

Those are the only two options I've found. Sorry, not much help.

I've got the Tuff Skins, came with the boat when I purchased. It's a nice cover, soft interior so doesn't mess up the cowling, but as noted it does not have any Yamaha branding. It's got the Tuff Skins "Y" logo deal, which looks neither good nor bad imo. As mentioned, it came with the boat - if not I'm not sure I would buy it though at almost $100 more than the RMP version. Unless you want your name on the cover, then the TuffSkins is for you.

Tuffskinz or RMP are options for a vented stay on cover.

I have TuffSkinz and it works great and highly recommend them. As others have said, Yamaha has a branding monopoly.

Outboard covers of America sells them. They are out of Australia. I have owned two of them. They are pretty nice but a little pricey.
