Hi all!

I recently bought my first boat and am loving it! The only problem I
have, and it is a small problem due to my laziness, is that after a
long day of boating I hate snapping on the cover for my boat. I have a
Sea Ray 220 and was wondering if there was a cover i can use that
would cover from bow to stern in one easy motion, instead of snapping
it on? Thanks for any and all feedback!

Overton has full covers that go over the whole boat that uses
a draw string to snug it in place.

On a 22' boat? No. There are plenty of different styles and fabrics for
boatcovers for boats that large. In fact, my current boat is about that
large and I have a "pullover" cover that ties with web straps. All the
covers are big, bulky, fairly heavy. It's worse on a center console such
as I have because the console presents a big "hump" if you are trying to
pull the cover on from the ground, outside of the boat.

Some years ago, I had an 18' center console boat on a trailer much lower
than the one I have now, and the covering task was easier, but still a
pain in the butt to handle by oneself. It's a lot easier to get the
cover off and on with a helper.

Is your boat kept on a trailer? I use bungee cords for my 18ft Center
Console. The easy way to get the cover off is to enter the boat from the
stern, roll the sides of the cover towards the center line of the boat
until it's about the width of the console and laying on it. Then roll it up
from stern to bow. When ready to put it back on, just start at the bow,
unroll to the stern, and let the sides back over the sides of the boat.

Easy.
