I use a tarp, but lay planks from the center console out to the gunwales of the master angler to shed and/or support snow. Not as maintenance free as the ridgepole designs once you get snowmelt, as it can collect. I worry about the point loading of some designs on the cap/gunwale.
I am considering skinning some pink styrofoam panels with glass to make sandwich cores as a light hard shell, over which I put a tarp. But haven't tried that yet. |

marcOO,
I've gone through a variety of wood frames and have used a PVC pipe one for the last few years. Sets up and breaks apart easily, materials are cheap and durable and the tarp slides on and off the frame without a hitch. Attached .jpegs are from 2 different versions and one of them is attached to just show the base plates I use for the verticals in the boat. The forward one is duct taped to the trailer and the aft one is set into a small hole that I dig. What isn't shown is a cob web type arrangement of small diameter rope that I set up on each side of the frame to help support the slopping side panels of the tarp. |

boat cover
I had a custom canvas cover made a few years back by a local guy here in NJ. It fits right over my t-top and I cross-tie at the bottom across the hull. I do not use any wooden supports or anything and it has survived major snow storms here, including the epic 34 inch blizzard last December. The t-top is my support system so no need for wood beams or the such. Canvas vendor is Nautical Canvas in Pt. Pleasant NJ- he's great, comes to measure your boat and comes back with customized cover.

shrinkwrap. A door is a must so you can go in there with a beer and turn on the radio until April comes. :-)
