It it looks like it comes down to about $150 a year - whether you buy a cheaper (say $100 - $150) cover and replace each year, or spend say $500 and replace every 3 years. ]]> Tue, 09 Aug 2022 15:38:56 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=136928&PID=1828145&title=boat-cover-durability#1828145 <![CDATA[Boat Cover Durability : Yep I tried all types Traps, cheap...]]> https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=136928&PID=1828129&title=boat-cover-durability#1828129 Author: neil_cb125t

Yep I tried all types Traps, cheap cover, and then custom - Had the super cheap option, lasted about 18 months for $160 I think.

I now have a full custom cover, heavy duty, storage only - non road ( can't really do both) cost was about $1800 from memory.

Zero water has got through, and had some terrible rain.....comes with a decent warranty think it was 10 year, so is about the same as you buy a new cheap cover every year.

Biggest thing is how it does NOT rub on things. I have done tarps etc, not worth your time in my opinion.

Yep mine is coming up 3 years and have noticed some moisture seepage - also some powdery discharge when its dry and you give it a good shake. ]]> Mon, 08 Aug 2022 15:48:12 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=136928&PID=1828118&title=boat-cover-durability#1828118 <![CDATA[Boat Cover Durability : I&#039;m squeezing 4 years for...]]> https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=136928&PID=1828104&title=boat-cover-durability#1828104 Author: terrafish

I'm squeezing 4 years for mine, but it is definetly due for replacement. 3yrs would be max before noticing deterioration

I got my last one on TM from Cover World NZ. Had been on the boat for 8 years and still going strong when I sold the boat a month or so ago.
Got it in a $1 reserve auction - think i paid 150-200.
Roger who runs the company is bloody good to deal with.]]> Sun, 07 Aug 2022 17:05:07 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=136928&PID=1828098&title=boat-cover-durability#1828098 <![CDATA[Boat Cover Durability : I&#039;ve heard anywhere from...]]> https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=136928&PID=1828096&title=boat-cover-durability#1828096 Author: OneWayTraffic

I've heard anywhere from 1-3 years for a basic commerical one, and up to 10 years for a custom sunbrella cover. Could be a lot more if you park the boat out of direct sun as UV is the killer. ]]> Sun, 07 Aug 2022 16:21:48 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=136928&PID=1828096&title=boat-cover-durability#1828096 <![CDATA[Boat Cover Durability : Any idea as to how long a life...]]> https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=136928&PID=1828095&title=boat-cover-durability#1828095 Author: Malcolm in the Middle

Any idea as to how long a life I should expect out of a good quality (ie $500 + for a 6m) boat cover? This is the "all over" type not a fitted road cover. Will be sitting outside all the time.]]> Sun, 07 Aug 2022 16:19:51 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=136928&PID=1828095&title=boat-cover-durability#1828095
