OK, so I think I was a little rough on you boys here, I asked for some advice and you provided it and for that I say thanks and truly mean it. Up here in Canada when we winterize above ground pools you drain the filter, disconnect the pump and take it inside then disconnect the plumbing letting the water drain down to the skimmer level . When it rains or snows the extra water will just drain out the skimmer and not freeze or brake. You can put a winter cover over the pool that will prevent leaves from falling into the pool. If the cover does not let water in it will pool on the top making next best thing to impossible to remove without a pool pump like the kind you use with a in ground pool. So for an above ground cover, it lets water in and keeps garbage out.
Thanks for the advice, I think I can make this cover work, I will use it and put a tarp over the cover and use it more as a frame and the tarp to keep the water out. Sorry for ruffling feathers, I think all you people are here to help and it is not your intention to harm or mislead and for that I say thanks and mean it. I will continue to ask for your advice and hopefully you will keep giving it. Who know maybe we will pass on the water some day and give a friendly wave. Some of my waters are half US and half Canada.

seeing as how this is "canadian tire" there can be no debating that it is "up here in canada"... It states that it "prevents chemical loos through evaporation" so it is NOT a mesh.

You are %100 right on the money, I apologize to all and will never make a despairing comment about anyone here, ever again. I had a “difficult day” plus a few pops and posted. I looked at the cover and thought it would let the water through. Today, I put the cover on and as you all know it works perfect. My profession is computers and that is what I should stick with. You guys fix the boats and I will just drive them.
So for those following this thread two things to note. First don’t post comments when you’re a little upset with a significant other (wife). Two, don’t post after a few wobbly pops.
Please accept my sincere apologies.. I feel a little silly right now.. I plan on restoring my boat and if you people want I will post my progress with pictures,,, and will take all your advice, criticism and suggestions as they come and will be humble..

Good... now you can get in the boat with the rest of us. We're not royality, stuck up, or condiscending. What we are is a bunch of guys that have a love for boating in general and for Wellcraft "V" style boats in particular. Here, you'll find a diverse group of people that are professionals in a plethora of different disciplines, each somehow complimenting the group as a whole. Welcome aboard.

aboard.. and thanks, now lets get my boat on the water. She is not a V but it's still a Wellcraft.

My bet is, if it's a boat then it's cool... Cheers to all

No worries here... ya might have ruffled a few feathers but this is the best bunch of guys I've ever found on the net and likely anywhere... I am certain that no hard feelings will remain.

By all means... keep us up to date on your rebuild.
