Default Winter Cover for a 20ft Fisherman

I am looking for a winter cover for my 1986 20ft Fisherman. I have looked around at the ones for up to a 20ft center console. The only thing I am worried about is the high bow rail on it. Does anybody have any experience getting a good cover for this boat at a good price? Have already done the blue tarp deal and am looking for something better. Thanks.

someone else here came up with the idea of using an above ground pool cover for boat covers. They come with a small cable and crank to snug it all around.

This is a photo of my boat with the winter pool cover on it. I've been using them for years. Get an oval one. They fit remarkably well and last many, many years. The one in the pic is 2 years old and is guaranteed for 15 years. Cost was less than $50. (If I remember correctly the size is 24' x 14') The color is green on the outside and black on the inside. I know this looks like it's black outside, but it's really the green side. It's just a trick of shading and the camera.

Thanks everyone. There is a pool place right down the road from here that I will check out shortly. Never thought of a pool cover but sounds like a great idea. This site is great. Just ask and you will receive great replies. I really do not want to talk about winter yet, just trying to prepare ahead of time.
