Boat Envelopes for Dirt Roads

Ever take your boat on a long dirt road and end up with a damaged paint job and missing rivets? While driving on roads such as the road to Clova or Parent, not only will you will kick up a ton of sand, dust and rocks of all sizes, but every logging truck you pass will shower you with pebbles and stones, some as big as a baseball.

This WILL damage the paint of your boat, it can break off rivet heads, wreck trailer wheel guards, even punch holes right through your outboard cover. All of these things have happened to me, except the outboard cover part :-)

A few years back, a Quebec company has released a product designed to protect the front of your boat from any stones and pebbles while travelling to northern locations on logging roads. The product is a form of envelope which is designed specifically for your boat. It is padded with felt on the inside, and it attaches with snaps and straps. It wraps around the whole front end of the boat, on my boat it goes right up to the console. The product goes for approximately 350-450 dollars for an average size boat. I know they have the patterns for all Princecraft boats, and they probably also have Crestliner, Lund, Legend, Starcraft, and the rest of them. Just call and ask to be sure.

They also have protective covers for outboards, which prevent dirt road dust from clogging the pump, among other things; and full size covers for ATVs.
