Paging RoyJulius!

Lea informs me you purchased the cover for your Champ from Deans!
I was wondering if you bought the Aqualon or the WeatherMax?
And how do you like it?

I'm pretty sure mine is aqualon, at least I always thought it was. When I ordered it they didn't offer me a choice of material. I love it, and it fits perfectly. I coat it with 303 protectant at least twice a year because 303 has a uv protectant of 40spf. Here's a pic from the first time I put it on, 3 years ago. It still looks almost as good as day one. Dean's will send you samples of the different materials in whichever color you choose, upon request. I don't think they offered the Weathermax when I got mine, must be a new fabric.

I'm not sure how long they have had the WeatherMax
They advertise it as new technology and being breathable!

Guess I need to ask a few more questions when I get them
on the phone to place an order!!

Thanks again Roy!!!

[Royjulius]

Good luck on your decision!

Hey Roy, how much does it take to reapply each time? qt- half-gallon?

[Royjulius]

I use a 16oz bottle and refill it because its lighter to just carry 16oz at a time. It takes about 3/4 of a bottle, or about $10 worth. I prolly use $40 or $50 worth of that stuff a year, but my boat is 13 yrs old and stored outside and still looks new. I can't help but give 303 some of the credit for that. I'm sure BBS and some other products work well too, but I'm happy with 303.

Ordered the WeatherMax tarp and 4 new seats from Dean's yesterday!

[Royjulius]

Sweet! That weathermax will prolly be a great thing for the higher humidity areas, being breathable as it is. You'll have to post up some pics when you get your stuff!!
