Could zip tie the tail ends to the straps.

Awesome job. You should have no trouble with that set up. Glad too see you are keepnig the classic!

I would tape or tie wrap those ends like CantRepeat suggested. Also carry a spare tire and check your lights. Head east young man. Not too soon though we are expecting freezing rain sunday and a mid week warm up so the roads are due to get sloppy this week!

I forgot, where are you moving to?

Buffalo, NY. However, the boat is going to MD where my parents are going to store it for the rest of the winter until I get a house. The cover is nice and tight, thanks for the suggestions, I'm getting zip ties in the morning. Then it's off to MD, then NY. Work starts in a week or so. Thanks everyone for the advice. I towed the with the cover on this morning and it didn't move a bit. The shop here did an excellent job and stand behind their work. So much so if it rips they will fix it with a new one, all I have to do is ship it to them for a remake.

One more idea.

You may want to get some soft towels, wash them a few times and put them under the cover folded up at the points the cover is very tight on the boat. Canvas might be a little tough on the boat compared to soft towels.

Oh and good luck on your travels, be safe.

Good idea wrapping the trailer.
I like the towel idea too.
I've also seen people take a medium size beach ball and put it in the bow under the cover.The ball keeps the cover up and from colapsing(sp)
