boat cover

I have a 1987 22' Cruiser. I think it's been stored outside with no cover for the entire 22 years. I'm not sure, though. The outside gelcoat is in good condition but is dull, especially the washed out dark blue trim color. The inside is clean, like new. It probably wasn't used much, with only 650 hrs on the original engine. I bought the boat last fall and have stored it outside with no cover and no change in the boat's condition. Would it be a good idea to cover the boat now? I intend to get a canvas cover.
Also, I saw a page on the C-brat site with boat covers and pictures of boat covers that I tried to find again. How do I find that page, please? One member referred to the Angola company which I book marked, but I'd like to see that page again.

Bluegene,

You can look in my photo album to see one example. It's a King that was modified by Bentley's here in Portland to fit my radar arch.

I have pictures in my album of the angola canvas cover on my CD25
The cover is 3 years old and still looks like new with minimal maintenance.
I pressure was it once a year usually in the spring. I believe they have patterns for all the CDory models. If you do a search for Angola Canvas
you should be able to pull up the web site. They are a small family company so it will probably require a phone call. Great people to work with.

The pictures and information in both responses were helpful. Thanks
