Greenie, we're in the same state. I know you get a little different weather pattern than me because of our locations, but for the most part we get the same weather. Get yourself an oval winter pool cover. NOT the 8 or 10 year type. The weave is too thin. Get the one that's warranted for 15 years. They cost about $65 give or take. They will probably not last the full 15 years but I guarantee they will last several seasons. I'm on my 6th year on one that's on my V21 boat and it's still like new,and the 3rd year on the one on my Airslot. My V20 has shrink wrap on it so I cannot comment on that one. Seriously though. They really are worth the money. They come with a vinyl coated steel cable and winch that draws the whole thing tight around the bottom. You can attach your bungee cords anywhere along that cable to tighten specific areas. I don't know what you are paying for your tarps right now but I know they are expensive. Look at it this way... what have you got to lose?
