I'd hate to use one of those dreadfully ugly cheap blue or green plastic tarps but.... Keith, You might try making a cover out of PVC. It's polyester cloth coated both sides with vinyl and comes in many colors, including white.( Same material as many dry bags) Not only will it look better than a polytarp, it is more durable and much better looking. Try "Mauritzon Inc" in Chicago. I use the 18oz "Coverlight" for the skins on my folders, so it's sure to make a good cover for your boats. They may have even lighter PVC for your application, though 18oz is plenty light. Coat is only about $5.00 per yard, and can be sewn or glued. If you glue it, use HH-66 Vinyl cement.
