Greg, It still fits, although I am going to take it back to the canvas shop and have them add a small section and sew in a reinforcement piece of thick vinyl where it will rub. Jim, I've owned Hydrodynes for the last 20 years and I know the importance of keeping the floors of them dry. My boats are always tipped up nose high and left to drain in the sun for a few days before I put them away.( I do the same with the life jackets..ropes..etc. ) I've even put a small squirrel cage blower in them to help move the air around and aid in drying. ( I could send you a picture of the small blower if you're interested.) The Nylon dust cover I use when it's in the "Hydrodyne Hut" is just me being particular as I always keep my boat in pristine condition. Bob
Yes, I would like to see the blower. The heat and humnidity down here creates all kinds of problems with mildew etc. I guess I should install a dehumidifier. I use to keep everything covered but it seems better just to leave it uncovered. My garage is insulated but not airconditioned. I have to air out it out regularly to keep the mildew down. My driveway and walks get mildew regularly. It is a whole different ballgame down here. I'm not complaining, but I have to deal with it. My boat is not pristine any more. It visited some fairly hostile places in its life. jim
Jim, I'll take a picture of the blower and post it. It's actually a mini version of the squirrel cage blowers you see drying the floors or carpeting after some sort of water damage, or you might see them in office buildings drying floors that were wet mopped. I believe I bought this one at Northern Hydraulics. Bob
Jim, Here are a few pictures of the portable blower set up. I even fabricated(out of sheet metal) a snap on snout that attaches to a clothes dryer duct hose. I can use this to get up into the front footwell and the rear bilge sump to aid in drying it out. I snap it off and then use it to dry out the carpeting. Bob
