Home Depot or Lowes pick up two 8’ cheap step ladders and one cheap 5’ step ladder, two 12 foot 2x4s, eight ratcheting cargo straps, 3 rolls of electrical tape. Then hit Ocean State Job Lot for 20x40’ heavy duty tarp and a 100’ of the cheapest 1/8 or 3/16th chord you can find. You’ll need to dig up an old couch or chair cushion for the forward ladder.

Back before the World went nuts you could buy everything for about $300, these days you’ll probably be over $400. With the exception of the electrical tapes everything is 100% reusable. I have been using the same tarp since 2006 and that’s in New England with plenty of snow & ice......

That’s quite the set up! I like it in the fact that it’s a DIY and cheap! I like in southern California and go out about once a week year round. Something like this but maybe w less parts and quicker to take on and off would be ideal! Thank you, you’ve given me some things to think about.

I agree with using a tarp. Once you make up the frame you are set every year. I buy a new tarp every three years for about $125.

LOL my cover set up is definitely not a good choice for short term storage.

I thought you were looking for a long term cover for Winter Storage with the boat laid up for several months. This is absolutely not something you’d wanna set up for a week LOL.

Good luck......

I purchased something called EGR-T27 on recommendation here - somewhere on CP, which I can not find right now to save my life (someone please help! lol). (I swear I saw it here on CP!)

Here is the link, I think I paid full price in the summer, looks like it is discounted now.

I have not used it, yet, still in the box. My boat is wet slipped and still in the water. So, I can not comment on the fit or anything but it looked good on a 2320 in pics here, and I didn't want to wait until its out of stock and miss out...

Sorry, I know this sounds ridiculous... but that's how I roll these days... lol. I work too much.

I may be pulling the Parker out this weekend.
Whenever I do, I will fit the cover and will post the results.

Look at some of the Budge boat covers. Very generic cover, but it works. I purchased one for my 2120 and I'm satisfied with it. The only thing I don't like about it, is that there is not an opening for the VHF antenna.

I second what Oz said. I picked up a Budge cover. American made, affordable, and they have a really wide range of fits available.

When I saw the supply list I was baffled, but this is quite awesome for a winter-long solution. Being a redneck I will need some PVC in there somewhere.
I am dying to know where you bought a tarp that went 15 years.

Which budge covers are y'all using for the 2120? I figure same style one size up will be good for 2320

You should install a quick disconnect for your antenna and take it off the boat for the winter. It’s very similar to a tv cable connector.

Here is what I ordered.

Thank you. That is the 22-24' model. For 2320 would you advise I go to the 24-26 model? (I will not have a pulpit)

I have a pulpit and the cover has more room to go further forward. I believe that the 22-24 should be fine. Budge should be a be able to recommend the correct size. Here is mine for reference.

Pulled her out and brought her home for the winter!

I tested the cover, did not strap it down yet as I have a lot of cleaning to do and still need to winterize.
BUT
The cover is the bomb. Honestly, I'm beyond impressed, and wanted to post so that you could jump on it if it is still available.

Very high quality fabric (100% polyester), nice zippers and velcro, fits the whole 31 LOA boat noicely with pulpit, radar, 8ft antenna (down), rocket launcher galore. I have a separate cover for the o/b, the armstrong platform will not be covered.

I feel very comfortable recommending it. Albeit (obviously) I can not comment on the longevity, I have a very good feeling about this one, backed by 3 decades of dealing with various boat coverings. At the current discounted price it is an great deal, IMO.
