Anyone use one? Opinion, review, any info appreciated. I need a new cover and keep seeing these advertised. Thanks

I have a Sealskin cover for my Buick. It’s a good cover and fits well. It hasn’t been out in the elements yet. My car is garaged in the Summer and stored in a steel building in the winter months.

 

My boat cover is a Covercraft, from Boat Covers Direct. It’s thick canvas, fits well, and has an engine cover.

I am looking at the same thing.  I have one for my truck and it has been ok.  My complaints are that the grommets (there are 2 on the truck cover) are a little weak.  One of mine ripped somewhat.  Second, I have to fold my mirrors in for it to cover down to the running boards on my truck.  There’s no pocket built in for mirrors and no opening for the antenna.  When I called them about it they said the cover I have is the largest truck cover they make and said it is a semi fitted cover not fully fitted.  It hangs off the front and back pretty far but nor on the sides.  After a rain and I pull the cover off there is a slight coating of moisture on the truck.  Almost like dew.  I don’t know how that would translate to a boat cover where you don’t want any moisture to get through.  I’m sure it’s because it is due to the “breathable” claim that this happens.  I had the wind catch the front corner and put a 2” rip in the cover.  They sent me a new one no questions asked.  Their top tier boat cover has a lifetime warranty which I guarantee you I would use considering how the weather has destroyed my factory boat cover.  I have no plans to tow with it either.  I’m about ready to order one and would like to hear some feedback as well.  I don’t trust google reviews. 

I have a Sealskin cover for my boat (16.5 foot LUND Tyee II, aluminum) - the cover has served me well over the course of 2 winters and 2 summers - it is not a "fitted cover" so I use bungie cords (vs. the provided straps) and some "tarp holders/clips" at the back corners to secure it - I also have three poles I place in the boat (one front/one middle/one back) that serve to keep it taunt and have the water/rain/snow run off - it has held up well (the weather here in MN can be extreme, from minus 40 to plus 100, we have had some significant storms this summer with driving rain) - it has helped me keep the sun/rain/leaves/snow off of the boat - it is not a "fitted cover" so I do not use it to travel at all - it is just used when the boat is in the yard

I beleive the Sealskin cover I have is the 5 year warranty (not the top tier Lifetime Warranty)

Thank you!

I went ahead and ordered one off their 4th sale.  My massive tarp didn’t take the elements well. It’s currently covering the boat in the barn to keep the pigeon poop off it.
