Default need help choosing a boat cover!

i was going to try to salvage my existing boat cover but i think i am going to just replace it. problems is that there are about 100 different covers to choose from and i have not a clue which one is best for the money. i am trying to stay around 200 and so far i think this is the best,

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/BOAT-...3286.m20.l1116

what do you guys think? i am going to be using this at the marina where i have a canvas canopy over my slip and also for winter storage where it will likely be sitting outside unless i decide to shell out the money for 6 months of indoor storage again. thanks!

    Mine's about to hit the dumpster as well. I'm having the same problem... My current cover is the factory one, custom fit, snaps below the rub rail, cleat openings with flaps, etc. I'd LOVE to have an exact duplicate, but I want to stick around the $200-$250 mark.

    I thought about getting this exact one from eBay, adding support poles, and adding snaps but I'm worried it won't have the same length all around like my current cover (see pics). I don't think I'm going to have much of a choice here .

    I store my boat outdoors and buy a new cover each year.....and okay, i'll admit it, I buy the $59 walmart cheap cover (size C for my z220). I found 3 "tent poles" with domed tops that keep the rain running off and not pooling up. Works like a charm. Took this route when I couldn't decide which cover to buy and have stuck with it for 3 years.

    I don't trailer with the cover on - even though it says you can with tie downs (not bungees).
