    22zx shipping cover

    A guy near where I store my boat uses a shipping cover over the cockpit cover on his Outlaw. Seems to work pretty well for him. Anybody know where I can find one for my 22ZX?

    I'm looking for an alternative to having a cover made. I definetley want to have a custom cover made but really can't afford a full Sunbrella cover right now. I have a Taylor made "semi custom" cover but the fit is only ok and it really doesn't seem to waterproof. Water and dirt seem to go right through it.

    I was looking at this cover for a Baja Outlaw 245 as an alternative if I cant find one for Donzi:

    Seems like it could fit well enough and would be good protection during winter storage.

    covers

    Looks to be dozens of covers on Ebay for the donzi boats. Don't know about quality but worth a look.

    The original Donzi shipping covers, shrink wrap outter w/felt liner inside, were made by Trans Shield. I still use my original cover to cover my boat in the garage and have a second one to cover the boat for long distance trips. If you're interested I'd check with Donzi Direct to see if they can get them. There should have been a Transshield part # back when they were making the 22ZX. I think mine was a couple hundred from Donzi back in 2006.

    The cover you listed appears to be a Transshield cover.

    My 96 18C came with a factory transport cover. It was a heavy vinyl with a felt liner and had a draw string on it. It fit like a glove. I only used it on long road trips. I have never seen another on a donzi. To have one like that made would most likely cost around $600. For a 22, probably closer to $800.

    On the other hand, if you are just looking for a cover to trailer with, that is affordable, you will have to go with an aftermarket, pre-designed cover. The fit will not be as good but you really don't have too many choices. If I remember correctly, West Marine had a selection for many different styles of boats. You may want to check them out and send a few emails. They may have a pattern for your boat.

    I've tried the "off the shelf" covers and they don't cut it. Currently i have a Taylor Made cover that is supposed to be made specifically for the 22ZX. The fit is ok but the material leaks and became soaked from day one. Before that I had a Carver cover that i liked better for fit and protection until it began to fall apart.

    What I'm really looking for is protection from water and I cant afford a Sunbrella cover right now. My plan is to use my current cover or cockpit cover with the shipping cover over it.
