When trailering your boat do you use the tonneau and bow cover or do you use a mooring cover? I store my boat in the garage and trailer to a lake about 20 miles away. I have been putting on the tonneau and bow cover, but should I?

I wouldn't recommend it with those covers, they are not designed for towing - it will rip the snaps right off. There are covers made that are suitable for towing, such as the ones made by Poppy Company.
On another note I also wouldn't recommend towing with your carpet in either if you don't have a proper cover.
We tow with no cover and no carpet - that seemed to work best on our 180 Challenger.

I have a trailering cover for mine, but I usually just take it off and also take out the carpets to tow it.

Thanks for the advice...
Guess it would have been nice if the dealer hadn't put them on when I picked up the boat and told me.
cha-ching!

As long as I am on the topic, did anybody get the "reusable shrink wrap cover". It's a big what thing with velcro straps. Is it useful?

Our 210 Wake didn't come with one. We just got the bow and tonneau covers.
I imagine it would be useful when storing the boat during the winter.
