I have a Taylor made on my 23' CC. It's not 100% "custom" so there's some fine tuning but great for the $$$$$

For the price you can buy 3 of these for the same price of one custom cover.

I figure two of these will out last the one custom cover.

Ditto! Mine is grey and works great for the price. The big thing is to get as much "slope" and tightness in the areas over the front and rear of the boat so the water does not pool!! I made some wood rails that run down the centerline of the boat higher than the gunnels for the cover to hang over when I thighten it down so the water "sheets" off like a tent. If it lasts three or four years I've got my money's worth.

For Winter on the Vineyard I would just shrink wrap it. Those winter covers aren't made for our winters.

Bingo. I know everyone likes these covers, but a florida or south carolina winter is a little different than the vineyard.

I just use a heavy duty tarp over the whole thing, t-top and all. Worked great last winter here in NJ with all the snow we got.

I got mine from a guy called Don Larson sells some through Ebay his phone # 813-240-1617 cost me $373.43 out the door over a year ago. Part # on my box picture shown above. You might find it on E bay there are 2 pages of Taylor Made covers for sale today.
They sell different types of fabric my part # represents a better quality material. I would do it again my guess it will last 4 years that’s less than $100.00 a year I keep it on my boat approx 250 days a year.

Two $25 poly tarps is what I do up here in NH, either with a ridgepole or other structure for snow and ice load. I have 2x4s and 2x10s for that. Not a bad thing to jack it up, pull the wheels and put the trailer on blocks big enough to not sink in the spring thaw.
