PrimeShield Boat Cover, Waterproof 600D Oxford Marine Grade Trailerable Runabout Boat Covers, Heavy Duty 13/15/16/17/18/19/20/22 ft fits V-Hull Pro-Style Bass Boats with Tightening Strap

I priced out covers for my boat and wanted a really good one...however a really good one is going to run me $800 or more with a warranty of only 5 years. I bought this with the price in mind that I could buy 10 of them for the price of a really good one, made a good choice! this is a quality cover, does the job well, used it all season and no flaws! held up nice! If I get another year out of it which I know I will I am ahead, I do not see why this will wear or have issues after another season as there is no wear on it from 1 season. I highly recommend this cover, can not beat the quality for the price!

This is a very GOOD cover, affordable and does the job as long as you install it properly and don't blame it for your errors (aka most of the 1-2 star reviews here). I bought it for my 18' bowrider that has a dograil up front. The cover fits over my outboard and over the dograil, but my boat is a little more narrow than most so the cover has a bit extra where the gunwales are. Unless I make my hull support "pole" very high (like 4+ feet), water sometimes will collect in the little extra bit of cover near the gunwales. I assume that only happens in heavy/windy rains but who knows.However, the description of this item is incorrect, as the straps are NOT sewn onto the top of the cover. Again, not the biggest of problems, but you do want to make some markings of sorts to know which side is the top, and which side is bow/stern. Though there are little sewn on strap guide "hoops", I just run the straps underneath the boat. It has a nice look when pulled tight. The elastics around the entire cover are perfect for when you just want to toss the cover on without any straps. This is good for me because I park my boat under a pine tree and just want to keep the sap and needles out of the boat in between days of usage. If I know there is a chance of weather, I strap up and pull tight.PROPER INSTALLATION:Look, you bought a boat cover for <$100. Spend a few extra bucks on some 2x4's or those adjustable poles so you can add support to the cover to create a "tent" shape in the bow and another in the middle of the hull. That way, all water (or snow) will roll off and not have the chance to collect and put added weight on the straps because they will rip/snap/break. That's the case with any sort of boat cover, even a wrapped boat will rip if it doesn't have that "tent" support.

I've had some bad experiences with boat covers recently. So I'm skeptical. I bought the 17 to 20 foot size D for my 17 and a half foot boat fish and ski. When I rolled out the cover it looked too small. But it did Stretch over the bow and over the motors in the back. It fits well around the windshield area with a nice even overlap of 3 inches below the gunwhale all the way around the boat. It Clips down with 10 to 12 nylon straps with plastic snaps. I've had bad experiences where those snaps broke while trailering. If a snap breaks the cover will flap violently and tear itself up. So we'll see how that works out. Otherwise so far so good.

It went on easy. Common sense installation, no instructions needed. Got the 14-16 for my 16. Next one will be the 16-18 simply for some extra breathing room. My only complaint is how it handles outboards, i get some pooling in the back. It also requires a cover support of which im using 1 from my old cover. They are only 10 bux each for some weighted adjustable supports so perhaps ill grab a pair. Now the true test... lets see how many seasons she provides. Especially around the trolling motor prop. I plan to extra pad that area regardless. 5 stars for now :)

material feels nice and thick, our boat is 19 ft I/O, we order 20' for extra room, fits good. We had a thunder storm last night (first time we had the cover on) water did not stay on. We have the factory snap-on canvas cover inside (which is only water resistant and water can still seep through, especially where bimini posts are, then water collect in the bilge/ IO engine bay) . The inside cover props this new cover from sagging and water pooling on top. Don't know about the durability since we just got it, and not sure how the salty environment will affect it.

We’ve had about 3” of rain now that pools next to the station. I didn’t think the cover would work as well as it has since it seemed so light compared to the last one but I’m quite pleased. Uncertain of the durability since that will be a test of time. Sorry, didn’t take a pic of the gallons of water it caught. Wife was very disappointed she baled the water off the cover onto the ground at storage area since she wanted it for her plants. Maybe I’ll take a bucket with us next time to capture 5 gallons.

You need poles for sure. That goes with any brand cover. Great bang for your buck. Only thing is that its a pain in the rear to get ahold of the company. They shorted me a couple little straps. No big deal but havent heard from them in days. But regardless of that id recommend this cover highly for a cheaper route.

Loved it for the first 6 months. It faded but I don't care about that. But now a rip has started. And its not at a rub point or around any stitching. Its near one of the attached loops, but far enough away to just be fabric failure. Its also never been trailered with the cover on. It just seems to be too thin.The boat is dry though. It did its job well right up until it ripped. And I may patch it and keep using it. But for the price, it needs to be much thicker.
