New boat cover

[pete]

Picked up a new boat cover for my 225 from http://www.discountboatcover.com/
fit is not too bad for a stock cover,zippers on each side make it easy to get into,t top is a little tall for it but still ok
only paid $372 shipped which for a top with a 5 yr warranty is pretty good,got quotes for up to $1500
the size I got is the 24'6" x 102 " beam.....







had to buy the strap kit local,the "strap" kit they include is some braided rope,they do give you a nice mesh bag for it

Pete, how would you rate the material density, a "10" being like some of those older heavy sunbrella like materials??  I definitely tired of the leaves...

I would say maybe 7 out of 10,its a woven polyester with an acrylic coating on the inside.Been thru 2 major rain storms,including today,no puddling on the cover,inside clean and dry.like the side zippers to be able to get in and out without removing cover.Basicly its a made in china copy of a carver boat cover.Plan on spraying 303 fabric guard on it first warm sunny day.Will see how it holds up in the summer sun.So far happy with it.If you call discount boat cvers customer service they may send you a sample of the material,won't hurt to ask.
