Do not buy a boat cover from "elite boat covers"

[Destroyer]

Everything Spare just said is 100% accurate.

My personal favorite is still a winter pool cover. These things are made to be out in the snow and rain and yuck and still last for 5-10 years, depending on the quality you buy. My personal favorite company is National Pool Wholesalers. Right now you can get a 15 x 24 foot, oval winter pool cover with an 8 year warranty for $31 bucks plus shipping.

Now how are you going to beat that price? And don't forget, pool covers are sized with a 4 foot overhang, so really your 15 x 24 is actually 19 x 29. More than enough to wrap your baby up nice and dry for the long winter months. Oh, and the covers come with a steel cable and winch to secure them around your boat nice and tight. That's a hell of a better deal than some dealer raping you for a boat cover, charging you through the nose just because they think they can get away with it.

The heavy duty tarps at Home Depot / Lowes last much longer than the lighter blue.

These are brown/silver in color.

Yep... they do, but they cost more than the pool cover, and they don't come with a vinyl covered steel cable and winch to secure them to your boat. Just saying...
