Posts: 375

the extra 1 1/2' on the 18'er had way too much extra to hide on the 16'6" boat. cabelas happily took it back and i went with the 17' size and it fits very nice. the dual ratchet system for tightening the straps that are in the side seams work very well for a really tight fit all the way around the hull. on my boat there is about 8" of cover left that goes down over both side rails onto the side of the hull. at the bow the cover does bunch up a little over top of the trolling motor since there is no built in boot like there is on a custom one but it fits snuggly underneath and up over the motor. i will need to put a piece of thick foam padding or something between the cover and the motor since it is really tight across it. the cover came with 3 tiedown straps for each side and it looks like that will be enough but it would be easy to add more if you wanted to. i was able to re-use the two vented support poles from my old cover which was nice. all in all for $175.00 (which is 50% off the regular price) it looks like a very good cover and i see no reason why it won't do well on the road too...
