Trailering with cover on?

Just purchased my first BCB it is a dual console . Do you guys travel with your cover on? I put mine in in my shop and seems like as tight as I’m comfortable putting it without breaking the strap there is a gap on each side near the consoles that to me would definitely catch air while traveling

Over the years , my experience has been that I get better fuel economy WITHOUT the cover, but of course it does get dirtier that way.

Covers are for stowing, not for towing. I’ve seen the best covers money can buy fail at one time or another causing damage. A pocket full of quarters and trip to the car wash is a lot more cost effective than gel coat repair. Tons of folks tow with covers, if you chose to do so buy the best, even then you’re taking your chances.

After putting the cover on tight park it out in the sun for a little while, and you will be amazed how much more you can stretch it. If you want to avoid scratches on a long trip, go all the way around your boats rub rail, and gunnel with a roll of shrink wrap. It keeps the cover from abrading the gel coat. ( I do that for 500 mile + trips).
