New to the site and happy to be here. I've got a 2003 15' 150 Sport and I'm considering ways to get some shade on the bow. My wife and I are expecting our first and so some extra shade is a must for when we just drop anchor and hang out. I already have a Bimini top.
I've seen some Whalers with half-shell bow covers, but I don't need it underway and don't want to get that much in the way of being able to anchor. I'm looking at a Taylor Made Anchorshade III in 6'x6' (only size I've seen).
Does anyone have any experience or thoughts on this shade or anything else I should try?
This is what I did Ina pinch last summer, I just bought some rip,stop black material at the local craft and sewing store for $10 and used some spring loaded clamps I had lying around my shop, this spring we will sew on some straps and buckles, the bow at the front is part of the old Mills bow shelter.
