This is my second one of these covers. The first lasted me 14 months before being torn by my trolling motor while I was tightening down the straps. So that sucks....but I have found a solution for that and I suspect this cover will last me longer this go round. Overall the cover is great and pretty water resistant....AS LONG AS YOU KEEP TENSION/keep it tight (like in my photos). I recommend it highly for the price point...the only thing I cant vouch for is the trailerability. Ive trailered it in town, short distances going 50-60ish and it held up fine. Im not gonna trailer it on a road trip where i go 75 for hours...it will probably hold up, but I dont wanna risk it for the price point and for how good it works when its sitting. Great cover, but some shortfalls....but those are no biggie at the price point imo.I have the cover on my bass boat (Tracker Pro Team 175) which has a 54 inch shaft trolling motor on the bow. Cover does fit well over that....but the trolling motor has sharp points, and eventually after a little over a year the cover tore. I have since added tennis balls to cover the sharp points of the TM and I suspect this will prevent it from ripping so soon. The cover has a 3 year warranty (according to amazon) so hopefully it hold up that long this time.My boat is just over 17 feet and the length is almost perfect....my only complaint is the outboard cut out is a bit too drastic and leaves a little gap (you can see in pics) uncovered. NOW, with that said....this one of the fewer covers on amazon that had the outboard cut out worked in which is a must for a bass boat like mine....so for the price point, its a fair tradeoff. I jerry rigged a tarp over the gap when I recarpeted my boat and that kept it dry...so there are cheap easy solutions if you HAVE to have that covered.My only 2 real bonafide complaints are not HUGE deals or dealbreakers (this is my second time ordering this cover to remind you).....BUT DO NOT BUY BLACK if you live anywhere with lots of sun. It will fade very quickly and you will see the different shades toward the lower ends of the cover (like you can see in the pics). No biggie at all, and to fix that I just purchased grey this time....and its a decent color too not just a dull grey. But I do suspect this brand will be subject to fading in sunnier climates....which for the price point is a no biggie and a fair tradeoff. My second complaint was more isolated an issue.....the strap that connects the two back ends (the picture with me pointing at the two points of the cover around the outboard motor) ripped out on me the first time i tried to use it on my old/first cover. Its holding up on this second one so far....but again no biggie since it doesnt really add much tension/help.SO.....long read but I hope that helps. No idea how much other covers cost....but bass boat covers cost hundreds of dollars, like $500+ for the "good ones." I dont travel a ton where I need a trailerable cover like those heavy duty expensive ones, just something to protect my boat while sitting outside 365 days a year (no garage for me). This cover is perfect for that, and I highly recommend it if you will be using it to protect your boat while sitting. If you keep the tension up it will keep everything dry....which is the point. A very good bang for your buck buy. Ill update if it craps out on me....but im optimistic since the last one lasted over a year and i didnt take some of the precautions I am taking now (tennis ball on TM sharp points).
