Thanks so much Forest, great info. Yes, I've decided to cut no corners on this one; I'm going to order a Sunbrella custom cover from one of the major manufacturers I have found online. They come with 10-12 year warrantees and are pricey, but I need to protect my investment. Since I have to store my boat outdoors I want something that will stand up to anything the weather can throw at it. That picture you posted of your boat with a tarp over it covered in snow could have been of mine this last winter. I think I'll put it on in winter over my new cover as just one more layer of protection. I also need UV protection for the interior of my boat and I park under some dirty trees so it will be best to keep the cover on year-round.
The older I get the more I would rather be considered a good man than a good fisherman.
