That's pretty smart there y'all!, blue tarps suck learned that lesson many years ago. Most boat covers never fit well or last long. But pool covers are tough!

I gave up & built a pole barn, but the boat still gets dusty & dirty like you wouldn't believe.

LOL Us northern guys have a good idea every now and then. I came up with the idea years before I was a member here. Started sharing it when I joined this site and I don't know how many people here use them now but I know it's a lot. We work too hard for our money to just throw it away on something that only lasts a year or two before it falls apart. Winter pool covers (Especially the 15 year ones) last season after season. That's a winning formula in my book.

P.S. To protect your cover and your boat, put something soft on all sharp corners between your boat and your cover. (Like the windshield corners, chocks, etc.) I used to use rags, but someone here suggested pool noodles and they work absolutely great and are CHEAP!!! Just cut them to fit, slit them lengthwise, place them over the object. They last for several years before they need to be replaced. Haven't had a poke thru on my covers since I started using them. Awesome!!!

I use foam pool noodles split open with a razor knife, even cheaper than the ac line insulation.
