Mine didn’t last as long as yalls I have rips in it now. Faded Straps broke within a couple years from dryrot I suspect.

Do you mind if I ask what the approximate cost was for the cover? I pay to have mine shrink wrapped every winter and am wondering if I should just invest in a cover. Also, does the cover provide protection for the t-top? In looking at their website it looks like the t-top is exposed? Thanks!

Don't cover top, they sell a bonnet for the top. I paid $750 I think their about $1100 these days.

Mine was around $1,100.00 in 2008 I think, now there $1,500.00. Ol Mucky did you get the 9 0nce fabric when you bought yours? I heard the lighter fabrics don't last as long. Gatorman-

Gatorman- That’s the part I can’t recall. I looked for old emails too. I saw my original inquiry....just not the order itself. I think it was the one with 5 year warranty, and it started going south at 6 And yes it sits in the full FL sun 24-7 I had a custom made the first time. That one lasted 8 years. Now that I type this, it appears that may be “standard” life for FL no matter which you buy.

Ol Mucky,
You probably right about that FL Sun it can be brutal on anything boat related. Gatorman-

So T Top Covers made a cover for a new member. Unfortunately they made a mess of the cover, didn't come close to fitting his boat. They have stepped up to take the top back to their shop and make the alterations needed . However in my opinion it's a repair on a new cover extra seems extra stitching areas where something can go wrong in the future. For this reason I asked if they would be willing to discount the cover to the buyer. I got the typical response that's not our policy.😣

Yes only as a winter cover. I've recommended dozens of members to buy from these guys over the years. We'll see what happens.
Did you take delivery on your new boat yet.
