08 Challenger 180 Cover and tube?

[usctrojan]

Any suggestions on some good brands for a cover? Is the Sea Doo brand pretty good? I have also seen some from Sun Solutions on Ebay that were resonable. Any experience with that brand?

We are also looking for a 3 man tube to pull. I like the looks of the Sea Doo Rey I think it is. How is the quality? Any other suggestions?

I bought from Sun Solutions on ebay. Fantastic fit and finish. Fits perfect and very well designed. Its the first boat I've ever owned so I can't compare it to other covers, but being an engineer it really appeals to me how well thought out and close fitting the cover is.

My 06 challenger came with the Seadoo cover, it fits the boat and wake tower like a glove, and pulls at hwy speeds w/o a flutter or a flap.. Phoenix to Lake Powell, never one adjustment needed.
I have had my share of boat covers, the seadoo is the best by a mile....:hurray:

I got a Seadoo Brand cover with my 2008 Challenger and it is great! Fits like a glove and looks sharp!

Thanks for all the advice. We ordered the Sea Solutions one off Ebay but things went wrong from there. We needed it by this Thursday. I guess my girl didn't read the very bottom of the ebay posting where is said to choose with or without tower. They took 4 days to email her and ask her which one. She complained about that to them because we needed it ASAP and now we are 4 days behind. They responded with we can pay the 100$ to over night it or we can cancel. So we cancelled and went with Poppy. Who I must say customer service wise is great.

My GF told them the story and that we needed it ASAP they offered to cover the 2 day delivery charges. That is customer service!!

As far as I can see they are made of the same material. I can't make any comments about quality right now but based on customer service I would suggest Poppy. I will update later with quality and fit.

In the end, it was probably our fault for not reading every word on the Ebay listing (although they should have contacted her sooner than 4 days) but when things go wrong is when you really see how the customer service is.

USC,

Terri is possibly the most professional person I have ever met when it comes to customer service. The ONLY reason I have the BRP Seadoo cover is because my boat cleats are a little "off". The poppy cover is actually more precise than the OEM cover.

I've had my BRP Seadoo cover for a couple of months and its already fading, isnt waterproof and still doesnt fit my boat perfectly either but it does work well for trailering.

The Poppy/Commercial sewing cover is better quality(I know because I owned one for my old Challenger 2000) hands down and Terri provides the best customer service in the industry. I only wish she ran BRP!!!!!

You are right. The cover was ordered a few hours ago and it has already been picked up by UPS and on its way...

Should have listened to you in the first place! LOL
