Description
Cut for the 1236 jon boat – twelve feet long, thirty-six inches across the bottom. On a hull this plain the whole job of the cover is the fit at the gunwale, and that is what the pattern is built around.
The cover is made from 600 g/m² PVC, welded rather than stitched, so the seams hold water out for as long as the fabric does. Two mesh ventilation openings let air move under it, which is what keeps condensation from turning into mould over a winter of storage. A ratchet at the rear pulls it tight, and the tension holds through wind and the weight of wet snow. The material stays flexible below freezing and carries UV protection for the summer half of the year. Expect around five years of service with normal use.
