Awesome Boat Cover,August 27, 2009
By EFranklinfrom Dahlonega, GA
"I have to keep my 19' Sea Ray parked behind my house in the woods and this cover is SO much better than the old one. It keeps rain and debris from entering. The boat is always bone dry, even after very strong thunderstorms have blown through. The debris from the nearby trees is no match for the material that is used to manufacture this cover. I HIGHLY recommend this as an alternative to the much higher priced custom fit covers."

Boat cover,January 21, 2009
By EddieMeefrom Cape Town
"Such prompt service over XMas/New Year was more than I expected. Delivery half way round the world in just over one week which included the holidays. The boat cover itself was also above expectations and turned out to be a great moneysaving buy."

Works well,December 8, 2008
By Calboaterfrom Southern California
"I like the cover. The rachets are not real easy to operate but the cover does the job nicely. I have put polls in the front and back to make the rain run off and it works well. The fit is good and I would recommend this cover. The vents are too low on the side to do much good though."

It's Just "ok",September 9, 2008
By MD13from Idaho
"Just like the title says, this product is just "ok." Nothing to brag about, but not bad for what you pay. When I received the box, it was trashed. It looked like someone had thrown the box through a paper shredder, and taped it back together at the other end. There were big puncture marks through it that had been sealed with packing tape, and it looked as though the box had been opened half a dozen times. If I would have been there to sign for it when UPS arrived, I probably would have declined it. It looked like Cabela's had done the taping, not UPS. Once I got it home a decided to put it on the boat, I found the information lacking. Obviously, it isn't very difficult to figure out how to put a boat cover on. However, the cover came with 0 directions or suggestions on how to make the cover fit correctly. I just started at the front and worked my way back until it was covering the entire boat. And boy, it covers it! I'm thinking a 17' cover for my 18' boat may have worked better. Oh well, I would rather have 2 feet of extra length than be 6" short. The cover itself feels to be made of high quality material. The straps are nice, and I'm happy they have quick disconnections. Major strap trimming is in order before I would tow with it, however. The rear ratchet system works "ok." Once again, I had to guess with trial and error until I found a decent fit. I would appreciate a little instruction manual, even if it was only on the box. Helpfull hints are just that: Helpfull. Although the fit isn't perfect, I am happy with the over-all look. It feels a little loose in some areas, and a little too tight in others. Honestly, what can you expect for a "semi-custom" fit that needs to go over hundreds of different makes/models? Overall, the cover does exactly what I wanted: gets the interior out of the sun. I'm not sure I would tow with it, however, do to the loose fit. The material feels high quality, and the look is not entirely disapointing. Those are the major redeaming qualities that scored it a 3 in my book. If the material was lower grade, or the straps were lower grade, I would have easily rated this product a 1 or 2 based on my experience with the condition of the box it was shipped in, the lack of instructions, and the over-all fit of the cover."

Excellent fabric; Questionable measurements,July 28, 2008
By jtforgatorsfrom Headland, AL
"The fabric is excellent. I had a top of the line boat cover for 6 years. I believe this is comparable in its quality and workmanship to the former cover of a different brand. Attaching the ratchet lock was trial and error at make the cover fit tight. The measurements are questionable. I ordered the same size before and got a great fit. The cover is too wide, but a size smaller would have been too short. With the after market pieces the cover fits okay. I could not find a better deal for a quality cover. I had planned to return it, but believed it was the best I would get for the money. The ratchet lock really helps making it snug around the hull."

boat cover,July 21, 2008
By heart7from nebraska sandhills
"This cover does not fit my boat very well, but my boat is 30 years old. I had to remove the rail from the front, so that the cover was deep enough to fit the front. It also fills up real bad when we are trailering the boat. My son was following us on the highway, and he said it blew up like a balloon. It seems to be made of good material, and I like the rachet tie-down system. I believe it will work well for storage of my boat."

Excellent fit and very tough...,May 26, 2008
By BCBASSfrom Vancouver Island, BC, Canada
"I bought this cover for my 2007 Lowe Stinger 190 and it not only fits and looks great, but it keeps the interior of the boat clean and dry when towing in wet conditions. The built-in vents help let any moisture out after re-covering the boat after a wet day of fishing too. I really appreciate the outboard cover too, especially when the bugs are out in force while I'm going down the highway. Makes it easy to keep the boat/motor clean."

It's just ok,April 19, 2008
By crazyrayfrom Illinois boater for 15+ yrs.
"I was disapointed that the cover was about 8" to long. a bit to wide. ( ordered it for my boat model and size ) Don't like the open part in the back not using the draw string. The ratchet set up is nice to get it tight but it also pulls it side to side cause it hooks to the eyelets of boat not to each other. I would return it but I need something and I got rid of the box. Note: In past I have alway been happy with there products, this is the only thing that I am not satisfied with. Sorry.. It could have been a MUCH better fit."
