I am looking for some feedback on the different boats covers offered by Bass Pro Shop, their customer service people can not tell me if one cover is better than the other because it would show favoritism, so I was told.I am just trying to find the best boat cover they offer material wise and stay under $200. My boat will stay in the water pretty much all season so I am looking for a decent cover to hold up to the elements. I am looking for a cover that is water repellent, UV-resistant, and has outstanding tear strength and abrasion resistant, most covers they have list have these features.The covers vary with the warranties and fabric used ( polymer-impregnated 100% polyester fabric. ,extra-tough 600 denier 100% polyester fabric ,heavy-duty acrylic-coated polyester topside with a soft non-woven polyester underside,10 oz. 60/40 Polyester/Cotton Blend etc.) Has anyone order a boat cover from Bass Pro Shop, I was looking at the Attwood Road Max, Attwood Ultimate, or the Bass Pro Sun Armor cover. Any info, pros/cons, experiences, would be helpful. Thanks

DBL A ,I have a 14' Starcraft, it actually measures out at 14' 5. Part of the reason I am buying the cover through Bass Pro is that I have a gift card that I want to use. Have you bought any of their covers?

Location: oswego, il		I would guess you would want one that is mretty much water proof. I am not sure they make one but with center poles you can keep the water out fo the baot. Without it, the water will pool in the center and do a slow drain into the boat.

Thanks ToddM, yes I have a PVC system set under the cover to keep it pitched so the water drains off and does not puddle. The covers I have had in the past I think were made from 600 denier polyester and I usually get about 3 to 4 years out of them before I need to replace them. I was thinking about giving the Bass Pro Sun Armor cover a try but I could not find much in the way of reviews on line.
