1st Time Boat Buyer - Help Needed on Which of These Two to Buy

They are good covers, however they have a tendency to drain rain water directly to the cut out for the rear tower support. This will cause dirt and leaves to be washed into the area near the hand grab. My solution has been to glue a small curb made from garage door gasket to the cover using Shoe Goo. You may want to consider a solution as well.
Your family is going to have a fun summer.
 
Thanks for the tip!

I forgot to mention that it is important to unplug the power to the Sirius unit under the helm. It will drain your battery in a week with the radio off. Disregard if you have a battery switch.

10 years on a battery is impressive....cant possibly last much longer though.
