Hows the fit? is a cover nominally for boats up to and including 6m actually big enough for a 6metre rib?

For my 16ft rib I had to exchange it for the 17-19 ft one which fits over the A-frame awell.

Looks good, at the moment I have a massive tarp over my boat.

Anyone have any idea which size is most suited to a SR5.4 (no A-frame).

Dave - I have the 22-24ft one on mine, it is too long but I wanted the extra width to go over that new big screen. I put a zip in so that it goes round my mast and covers the engine. The smaller size should fit yours, you can always check mine out next time your home.

Cheers for all updates. I will be getting a Ribtec 585 and paln to purchase one of these covers:-
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Boat-Cover-Top...item1e57eab0a6

Does anyone know if I can get away with the size four which is for a boat up to 19ft. Very easy to get measurements of cover but with rise of consul and jockeys will smaller 19ft fit. I dont have the boat yet so cannot measure this rise. Any clues appreciated

I bought the ducksback 22-24ft one for my Ribcraft 585 all I needed to do was tailor around the 'A' frame. If you have a high consol then you may need to add a bit in but mine is ok. Hope this helps.
