    • 303 fabric guard would be my choice but a cover that old might just need replacing

      The boat is currently stored inside with a trickle charger on the batteries with the cover on.

       Depending on the type of Batteries you have ( Lead acid or AGM ) will  depend on your charging method.  Do a web search into winter boat storage and see what applies to your situation. I have always removed the batteries from the boat for winter storage. I started this when I had lead acid batteries and continue this practice with the new AGM.  removing them gives you a chance to visually inspect the case for cracks and leaks. Store and charge in a place that is not exposed to freezing temps.

      Update:

      So far I'm strongly inclined to a Monster MT2, as it most closely resembles in form and function my preferred Titan.  I'm in conversation with Monster currently, as to my anal-retentive attention to detail regarding mounting both the tower and a bimini to best effect (best, anyway, I see it, to drill, tap, machine screw, and Loctite blue dissimilar metals bimini fastenings, and oversized base and backing plate support for fiberglass).

      Meanwhile, Scott has suggested in a flyby as he goes in for open heart bypass surgery that perhaps, after all, a Titan might be made affordably.

      So, as the boat won't be seatrialed, let alone sitting where we can do something with/to it, for the moment, the research continues.

      But, since I may have your attention again, does anyone have the gunwale spread distance just aft of the side windows on an 02 21' Sunscape, and likewise, just aft of the handrails in front of the windshield?  And, putting all my begs in one askit, are there any impedimentia under those areas making drilling/bolting challenging?

      Thanks for any knowledge!  The boat's 93" beam will make for careful  docking with the dock roof supports' spread 100"...

    • I use the starbrite waterproofing on my cover too. My new $950 cover, from a canvas shop, started leaking after the 5th year. Really disappointed with the fabric, whatever it is.

    • I have used this in the past and it worked nicely. It was on a much newer cover, but it would only be a $50 gamble to see how it does.
