Mooring cover deals?

[1rjclark]

It's time for me to buy a new mooring cover. I like the deluxe but will it last longer than the old school grey one. I only got 3 years out of it. And that with it being kept under a canopy 75% of the time. If anybody can point me to who has the best prices right now that would be great. I have a 2011 AR 210. Thanks

This is the one I bought: http://www.yamahasportsplaza.com/oe...5eb23/ar210-212x-deluxe-premium-mooring-cover

Really happy with the cover, but this was an upgrade for me from the shipping cover. People have complained that it's a pain to put on while in the water, but I put it on in the driveway so no issue for me. Let me know if you need more info and/or pictures of it to help make your decision.

I had to cut some loose threads off my cover on Sunday.

There, I said something negative about my cover. I felt the need to get that out of my system.

After 11 years with the same damn cover you'd think it would have disintegrated by now, but noooo. It has a few slight water stains on it from pools of water that have collected from time to time, but that's the extent of it.

My friends all have new covers. I'm envious. I pull the thing very tight and have expected to hear "Riiiiip" many a time while doing so. I almost get excited pulling the rubber up and around the cleats thinking it will tear.

When the time comes to replace it I just hope they still have them available.

I need a cover too for my new to me used boat but reading all of these comments like "It only lasted three years" are killing me. $600 and it lasts 3 years?

I seem to read good things about the "shipping cover" but I can't find one for a 2008 232 Limited. If you don't want to trailer with it, it seems like the way to go. The previous owner gave me a cover he got from West Marine that seems to be doing the job for now, but I want something better. He said the "original Yamaha cover" pooled a bunch of water because he "couldn't pull it tight" even though he said it had the ratchet strap in the back. I looked at a used boat with the mooring cover and it seemed pretty damn tight to me so I'm not sure which cover he had originally.
