    I'll look into that..300 denier in Hemet lasting for 4 years? Is it parked in the shade? Hard to believe...

    MM- side of house so it gets the a.m sun all the way til mid afternoon. Not the deep blue anymore but holding up with no tears on the corners, the internal strap is rope.

    AN UPDATE: it has been a year of Yuma Arizona sun, several hard rains and a lots of dust, sand and wind. But the $69 Vortex cover I mentioned (page 1), is still in great shape. It is a little faded, but the cover is still water tight and looks just fine. These less expensive covers will not work for every application, but this is one is doing what I needed.

    Thanks for the update! I still haven't bought a new one yet, but this is you recommend for my boat size:

    I bought mine from them. I think I bought mine through eBay but VortexDirect was the seller. I wish there was one more strap just in front of the wheels, but I use a tie down for that area. Mine is very good.

    Thanks for the follow-up! That is a heck of a deal. I'm going to try one out. Was going to buy waterproofing solution for my canvas cover, but this really isn't a whole lot more expensive than a bottle of that stuff. If it lasts more than a year or two, it would easily be worth the $69.

    Hell I just rented a garage across town and put my boat in it. Built shelves all around it, bought 2 refridges and a freezer. put in a small bar in front and tell the little women im going down to work on the boat. Great place to go all the neighbors visit every night and all for $200 a month

    I just came down to Yuma again. The cover is still as new, with some fading.
