I'm thinking about getting a cover like this for my boat, for the winter. (the top one with the 7 year warranty). Is a cover like this good for the winter & snow? Is it waterproof? Occasionally I need to keep the boat dry after working on it.
AND yes I will be supporting the cover when I wrap it for the winter. I have a wooden frame I've been using for a few years with tarps, but tarps suck. One of these covers costs about the same as shrink wrapping, that would save a ton of money. Plus if it's easy enough to put on, I might use it in the fall too to keep the leaves and crap out. But the primary purpose would be to cover it for the winter.

Also, subtopic:
I was thinking about replacing my heavy 'tent' frame (made of solid 2x4's) with something made from much thinner PVC piping. But while I was thinking about that, I had another interesting idea. What if I get a pair of pool baloons!? The kind you put in your pool before you cover it! A pair of those under a cover will keep the snow shedding right off. I assume they're cheaper than building a PVC tent frame for my boat, and best of all, come spring, I can just deflate them. No sticking the huge frame behind the shed where it gets in the way all the time.
