			I thought oval shaped was the ticket so it didnt have all that extra material to bunch up at the bottom?

			This is the one I just purchased and read about in other threads http://www.nationalpoolwholesalers.c...CVR151224.html It fit pretty well, definitely like the oval shape. |

			Sorry, I meant to say oval. Definitely the way to go.

 General comments for all: And for anyone going the pool cover route, remember that they (the covers) have an extra 4 foot of material sewn all the way around for the sides of a pool. Thus, a 12 x 24 pool cover will really be 20 x 32. Absolutely perfect to cover your boat, outboard engine and most of your trailer. Build a backbone (discussed in length in other threads) (I like to use 1 1/4" conveyor pipe [like heavy wall EMT] and fittings) the length of your boat for the cover to drape over, thread the vinyl covered steel cable included with the pool cover thru the grommets, winch the cable tight and you're set for the winter. Just remember that like all projects, the prep will be the thing that decides how well your cover will stand up over time. Snow and ice are heavy, so brace your backbone accordingly. Make it high enough so that all snow will slide off and water (ice) will not pool, causing undue stress on the cover. Use pool noodles to cover the top edge of your windshield, and depending on their location, shorter pieces to cover your chocks or anything else that might become a stress point that will eventually puncture your cover.
