ABSTRACT:
Foldable boat covers provide various features including a cover portion which is foldable. Other features include hinges allowing the base structure to be folded. By folding the cover portion, the base structure, or both the cover portion and base structure, the boat may be placed in a garage or on a covered boat lift with a lesser likelihood of the boat cover interfering.
