I heard from some people on this forum that Jettrim and AP Designs hold up better. They are also more expensive.

I've used Hydroturf seat covers on my race boats for years and they hold up very well. Better than the Jet Trim cover's I've tried.

I've had both, and although I think the Jettrim is a superior cover, the Hydro is more than worth the asking price, it looks good and holds up to abuse quite well, I've had one on my GPR for 2 very full seasons with it still looking like new. Fortunatelly I can say the same of my Jetrim 6 years old and just has a little bit of wear showing.

I had them both and prefer the Jet-Trim "Bath-Mat" material better.

I have a hydro turf seat cover on my XLL, but have an issue of the water seeping through the stitchin' and onto the motor (salt water). I had the guy (who put the cover on) take off the existing material because it didn't look right with the Hydro seat cover over the existing seat cover. Now i have the water problem.

Anybody have any suggestions?

I use the Jettrim cover with the mildslip black fabric which does not slip but can scratch if you only have 'trunks' on.Anybody wants a pic let me know as it looks good with the orange to match the GP1300 colors.
