try playboaters...
they have a variety of good decks. in my experience they stay on...not only upside down but also in big holes and they are quite easy to get on too... check them out and go to your shop, take your boat along and try... |

every time you go paddling get it wet first before you get in this will help it stretch and will b a lot easier.
when i got mine it spent a whole 2 months on my boat before it would fit properly and it's still hardwork to get on. hmm i'm pretty much repeating what chris said. but it does work. don't fork out for a new deck yet. |

how old are u hurricane?
i don't mean it in a bad way but when i was younger around 16ish i had a lot of problems getting my deck on, some decks are natuauraly tight and when you start playboating they've gotta b. The only thing you can realy do apart from stretching it or getting a new deck is get used to it. I know it takes along time but it's worth it in the end ( and get help where you can. just put up with it where you can and perservere) good luck Ralph |

I am 15, and kind of a small guy. I went to my local boat shop and found i could hardly get the skirt on. I tried a variety of snapdragon skirts, all difficult until i came upon a skirt that fit. It looked exactly the same except it was a ladies skirt. Buy one... no one will know but you.
 Stretching is BS, no they dont get bigger overtime either, at least enough bigger.  |

I have a playboater spraydeck and can vouch for them, they're great!
About getting your deck on, I found it really tricky to start with, I'm 15. After asking people at my club for some advice on technique and after some practice I now find it alright to get my deck on myself. The only advice that I can give you really, is to practise putting your deck on with some help to start with and then as you get used to it, doing it yourself. It is tricky but persevere! |

Try leaving you deck on over night.
That will stretch it. |
