You may have already considered having a custom cover made for your boat. They are more expensive than what you are considering but something to consider is fitment of the cover and how long it will last. I have had two boats and have had custom covers made for each of them. The first cover included a trolling motor and main motor cover built into it. It had loops on the sides to secure it to the trailer. (Using bungy cords) With the two motor covers added on it fit well but there was some loose material to account for applying the cover to the boat. On my second boat, I went with a custom cover that just covered the boat itself and was secured with snaps. I put a quick release mount for my trolling motor on and when I trailer with the cover on I put the troller inside the boat. I had a separate cover made for the motor. I really like the tight streamlined fit of this cover. I was concerned initially with using snaps but I have not had any trouble with them in the seven years I've had this cover. Absolutely no loose material to catch wind and rip. I believe the cover was constructed of a material called "Topgun". Aside from keeping it clean I have had no issues with leakage or tearing to date.
Just something for you to consider.
