Anyone use a winter cover rather than shrink wrapping during the off season? I know the cost of the cover is considerably higher but if I can get 5 years or more I'm thinking it would pay for itself. Also the hard top should make it so I shouldn't need to build a frame for snow run off. Any thoughts or suggestions?

I got mine from T Top covers. It's now 16 years old and still fine.

on my previous boat I had canvas type cover, used it 9 years and sold with boat. No issues, just minor maintenaace. I dont remember if it was regular canvas or sunbrella. also have a fullcover on a CC boat I keep in FL for 3 1/2 years. that cover lost a zipper and pulled a few loops and currently has a 8" rip. I think it cost 175.00 to fix for zipper and loops repair. the material is some type of synthetic. neither cover was full custom.

I have only used a canvas cover. Over the last 9+ yrs had I paid for shrink wrap every year I could have purchased 10 covers.
I just threw my cover in the trash since it had developed a few holes after all these years. That cover went over the top of my ttop, radar, outrigger etc. I think the next cover I purchase will be a ttop cover like finatic's picture.

I have a 2360 and use the Seal Skin cover for 3 years now. I have to put a small 4ft ladder at the bow to get the water to run off. A few times, I had to put a small submersible pump up there to get the water off the cover. No tears, stretching, heavy duty and works great. Paid $500, but I think it was worth it.

Inexpensive ratchet straps from TTop to cleats no more ponding of water.
