easy and cheap boat cover

I've checked these out Cal and also got ideas from Michael B's blog. As John mentioned my trailered boat isn't really comfortable. My larger boat is but can't be hooked up for travel very easily. I'm thinking of selling what I have for a trailered boat and look for one more suitable for my plans. At that point I'll be doing a lot of creating. 
Thanks Cal for all of your suggestions.

The guy I saw gives source and price for a full boat cover for - in his case - a coot size jonboat for backyard storage.  It seems possible to make that collapse for a camping cover.  Maybe just a covered area but probably ok for a few  or more trips.  Check out Utube for the info.  Just open it, and ask for cheap boat cover, or pvc boat covers, probably a number of them.  One I saw I would add a center fitting for less sag, but what the heck, plus a commercial cover comes with straps to hold it down which beats grommets all to pieces.   His final cost was around $40.00, so just in case i'd add a ten spot for boat fittings or misc. to fit.

Check it out, might work for the Dexter trip.,  -----  Cal
