Is this a mistake? (odd pricing on Westland covers)

[slydog75]

I'm looking for a new cover for my Wellcraft Classic 190 and found this on iBoats:
http://boatcovers.iboats.com/Wellcraft/190_Classic_(1987-1989)_Westland-V219/6256/

The pricing seems odd.. Sharkskin Supreme is the best fabric right? But it's (a good bit) less th an the Sharkskin Plus. I certainly don't mind paying less for a better prodcut, but I just want to make sure I'm actually ordering the better product.

According to this, Supreme beats Plus in every way:

Only downsides I see are fewer color choices, and the Supreme cover will weigh more (could be a problem if you are 90 yrs old).

The Supreme is marked as "Exclusive" to the retailer. Apprently they marked it low because they want you to buy that one.

I noticed that too when looking for a cover on iboats recently. I figured that it must just be a promotional thing where the Supreme is marked off more than the plus. I've seen this before on lot's of other products out there. Just a good opportunity to get more for less.

Anyway, I went ahead and ordered the supreme, and it's supposed to deliver on Thursday. Looking forward to having a nice cover for the new boat.

Excellent. Let us know what you think of it when it arrives!

I just got the same cover for the same price. I assumed it was cheaper because it only had 2 color choices. I haven't put it on yet but the material is very thick and it has the sewn in trailering vents.
