Pool cover on link indicates " allows water to seep through."

Maybe I missed a waterproof unit as option but I'm looking to replace the " heavy duty" waterproof tarp I replace every year with something more durable........and also waterproof.

I used a 10x20 harbor freight canopy for the last 2 years. It wasn't new when I put it over boat. Still get a little water in unless u put a tarp on the front or back. And u can get under it to work on plus it gets air. THey have an aluminum frame, cost is around $100 I think.

You just have to knock the snow off it. Big snow storm last year took it down.

I always use a sheet of VisQueen (Plastic sheeting) under my tarps. Never have any water intrusion and each sheet of the plastic lasts several years since it gets no UV sunlight to degrade it. Comes in a 20 x 100 foot roll and you just cut off 20 feet at a time so it lasts for years and years.

There always seems to be this 'belly' in any boat cover (on a dual console) about half way between the helm and the transom, I made a 'strut' out of 2X4s to hold the cover up so that everything is like a roof and water rolls off as opposed to collecting. If you dont do this you can have some HUGE puddles inside your boat. I theory you just leave it and the water evaporates in the spring I guess....but I dont roll that way.

I use 1" grey electrical pvc tubing. Put one end in gunnel rod holder, bend it into the rod holder on the other side.
