Looking at this boat cover

[ONEGA]

Have anybody purchased boat cover from these people: Grey 20 Foot Fish/Ski/Runabout/Vhull Boat Cover ?
I'd appreciate an opinion if anybody did. On sale for $89 with free shipping sounds pretty attractive.
Thanks.

Re: Looking at this boat cover

That looks to be a generic boat cover. Unless your boat has some unique features, it should fit. I use them, and get them at the local Wallyworld. Normally you will need some support under them to help the rainwater drain away. I use a center ridge pole (2X4 lumber) and twine to make "ribs" from the ridge pole to the gunwales. That works pretty well.

I have one of these covers and is much better than walmarts. Mine is at least twice as thick as walmarts. This cover is 3 years old and still in very good condition. It doesn't leak and does a great job for me. I personally would recommend a vortex boat cover. "If" it ever wears out, I will buy another just like it. According to their site they have been in biz for over 9 years. See for yourself Vortex Direct Winch and Boat Products

Thanks guys.
I'm going to pickup a boat this Sunday and will need to cover her for the rest of the winter. Nothing unique there, 20 foot Bayliner cuddy. Don't want to invest a ton of money until I know for sure she worth extra investment. Will be ordering as soon as deal is finalized.
Yes, some kind of support system should be in place for sure. Any advise on a good universal one? Weather is unpredictable here this time of year so I'd rather pay a few dollars rather than playing with 2x4 and twine.

I have an 18' bowrider with an outboard. Would a generic cover work for me or should I get one specific to outboards.
