For years we have been trying different 72" Table covers to find the perfect match for the Ultraskiff. Now in 2018 we have one that is just about perfect. Made by Budge (Empire) Covers of Lansdale PA, a company that has been making car and marine covers since 1940. This inexpensive cover is a perfect 72" in diameter, light weight and fold up compact yet durable with double stitched seams. 100% waterproof with Neverwet ® technology that makes water bead and roll off instantly. UV treated for prolonged exposure to the sun and has straps and buckles for securing it down. This cover is better then many covers we have used and demonstrated in the past and is just as inexpensive.

We made a demonstration video that shows us putting it on the Ultraskiff as well as converting it to a "Skiff Poncho". A Skiff Poncho is a simple way to make a couple of cuts in the cover and allow you to use and operate the Ultraskiff while keeping rainwater out of the rod holders, utility pockets and storage compartments. This option is also popular with people who want to keep their Ultraskiff tied up to a dock or on a trailer while outfitted with a motor. The poncho does a good job of keeping that rainwater out while storing outside with a motor/seat attached and also while fishing.
The best way to keep water from "Pooling" inside the skiff cover is to just cut a hole in the center and let the water drain out of the bottom. If you want a completely covered boat with no water drain then you can place to sections of PVC like this customer did back in 2015 to prevent water from Pooling in the center.
