Hi, I'm planning on long distance trailering my 1969 16' Montauk and 2002 230 Outrage. Any recommendations for good trailerable boat covers? Rather not shrinkwrap.

Check your model names.

The Montauk was not introduced till 1973. Which model 16' do you have?

See the photos for the various 16 or 17 models on page 1 and 2 here:

The Outrage 23 was made from 1998 till 2001 then renamed the 230 Outrage for 2002 before being dropped. What year is your model?

My 16 was originally the Currituck model but it has a higher fiberglass center console configuration now like a Montauk. The other is a 2002 230.

Carver and Westland make decent semi fitted covers that may work for your 16'. https://dealerguide.carvercovers.com/...m/mmy/boat

The true trailerable cover for the 16' and 230 is from Mills Canvas, the OEM supplier

The Carver covers are trailerable and I often use mine for that purpose. I recommend stopping after about five miles of trailering to snug up the new tie down straps. They will stretch and loosen the cover when new. You will need to repeat the this about three times on your first covered tow. I also like to check the tie downs anytime I stop for fuel, etc. just to be sure the cover is tight. A loose cover will probably be damaged and possibly cause damage to your boat or trailer. Once the tie downs have been used a time or two or for a day or two on a longer trip they will not stretch anymore. Tight lines!
