Harbormaster Premium 20'-22' Boat Cover

This is my 3rd Harbormaster Premium cover. For the price, this cover is hard to beat. I've compared it to covers at twice the price and more. It is a 600 denier cover, so it is quite strong. Although it claims to have a 5 year warranty, I’ve replaced them after 3 years or so. When stored outside in the elements year round in the south, the waterproofing tends to loose its effect, although I have never tried to extend the life by coating it with new waterproofing. The smartest thing you can do to extend the life of the cover is to use cover support poles to raise the cover in the center at several points. This allows the water to run off rather than collecting in the cover. This is an excellent value and I will continue to purchase it in the coming years.

This was the second purchase, the first one was the 17-19 ft. cover was too small, for a flats boat with a polling platform, it would have fit except for the polling platform. I purchased this one, 20-22 ft. with hopes it would go over the polling platform,still did not fit correctly, would need to go bigger or custom order. The construction/material of the boat cover seemed good for the price.

The 20-22 ft Harbormaster boat cover is an excellent product for the price ($98). The cover really protects the boat and the straps to secure the cover are easy to adjust and allow for a very tight fit. The only complaint would be that the cover tends to deteriorate over a 2-3 year period rather than the stated 5 year warranty period.

The product is advertised as a boat cover, and I expected to use it daily to cover the boat; however, it is really meant for use when the boat is put to bed for the winter, as it can only be fully secured when it is out of the water. We had to get the canoe out to drive around the boat to attach the straps above the water line -- that's not going to last long!

I'm happy with the product. It fit my 21' 6" boat with built in swim deck just fine for being a universal cover. There would of been no guarantee if I ordered a custom cover that it would have fit any better than this one. Material seems to be strong. Well worth the price.
