How useful would a mooring cover be?

[macsfriended]

My new 20' bowrider has two tonneau covers (bow seating and the main seating including sun pad areas.)

In season it is on a lift in a covered slip. Out of season it will live in a metal storage building (rain tight.) I plan to leave tonneaus fastened year around and then overlay canvas over the tonneaus and the entire topsides to keep dirt, etc. off the boat's interior during winter storage.

Highway towing will wll be about 170 miles each way in spring and fall and I can probably cherrypick good weather days for those hauls.

Have I overlooked any good reasons to buy a factory model specific mooring cover that is high quality and tight fitting over the entire topsides?

the cover will keep you top deck looking good for many more years. i do not tow with cover on. use some foam blocks between cockpit and bow cover, and the overall mooring cover, allows air to flow thru. also open all compartment before covering.

If everything you described is accurate, I can see NO reason to get a mooring cover.
