for what this costs its working great as a winter cover, it stays waterproof (it rains sometimes here in the northwest) keeps crud out (the boat is parked under a tree) and breaths enouogh not to mold.

I couldn't believe how fast they shipped out this boat cover. I believe I ordered it on a Sunday and received it on Tuesday. Well worth paying shipping for. It is a really nice cover for the money.

Apparently your mileage may vary on this product. As a waterproof boat cover it didn't work for me. Water simply permeates the fabric and drips into the boat.

In addition, the fabric doesn't 'breathe' so water got and in the lack of airflow overtime created a mold that covered most of the inside of the boat. The varnish on my boat deck failed (I think) because the wet fabric was constantly in contact with it.

Because of all the tie-downs it comes with, It works reasonably well as a cover for the plastic tarp that is keeping my boat dry...

Perhaps a more important issue for me is that I have been trying to leave this review on the DuraShield web site (there are currently 4 reviews there for this item, all 5-star), however their system states that the review has been recieved and will be going through 'moderation'. Apparently it never makes it out of moderation. I have left the above review twice. Any company that will not display fair but unfavorable reviews is not a company that I would ever do business with again. If you feel like I do, then I advise you to stay away from this product and this company.

This is a great cover BUT i wish there was some Instructions in the package , a little confusing, but i will figure it out.

With the price being so low and free shipping, I had little expectations of this product. Shortly after it arrived we were hit with a very early snow storm and 8 inches of heavy wet snow came down on it. I held my breath after each passing hour of the storm, fearing this first test would be the cover's last. I woke the next morning to find that it had sagged a little bit from the weight of the snow but there were no tears in the cover or in the straps that are nicely stitched into it! I actually had to use a plastic shovel to remove the majority of the snow and then broomed off the rest. The outside of the fabric was wet to the touch but the inside remained impenetrable to the moisture and the boat remained bone dry! I was amazed! My boat is a 16ft V-haul and even with my outboard still mounted on the transom, the cover accommodates the entire area including the motor with ease! I can't say enough about my satisfaction of the quality of this product and how simple and quick it was to order it and recieve it!

Bought this to cover my Sunfish sailboat for winter storage. Not an exact fit, but plenty of loops to accommodate bungies and cords. No problem during short trailering trip.

I ordered this cover for my 16' fishing boat. I was a little sceptical because of the price. The last cover I bought more than 4 years ago was double the price of this one. I recieved it VERY quick and I am SO impressed with the strength and the stiching of this cover. The straps ( again I was sceptical, because my last cover had big brass eyelets and I used my own rope to tie it on ) but this strapping system is Strong !!
This product get 5 out of 5 stars for my review. But if it was possible, I'd give this company 6 out of 5 stars.

Because of an error on MY part, this High Quality cover would not work on my boat. I was so let down. I sent an E mail to this company asking for suggestions and they responded immediately. Sadely, it will not work for me and the company does not make a larger size. They gave me all the instructions to return the cover.
It's not just the high quality of this cover, but it's the service that they gave After the sale that really matters.
Thanks again DuraShield ( sold by Probus ) !!!
