I know it really becomes a personal preference thing but we have tried the mooring cover that covers the whole boat but it's cumbersome to put on while the boat is in the water and we seemed to get a lot of water puddling and soaking through. We leave our boat out all summer long at a dock with out a hoist/canopy.

Anyways, so we are thinking about a 2 piece snap on cover and were wondering about people thoughts on them. We are excited about the opportunity to leave the front cover on and stay out of the wind - up in Michigan it's cold for a while. (I'm jealous of all you southern folks talking about first start ups.)

Also if anyone has material preferences, opinions are welcome. The local canvas shop recommend Aqualon over sunbrella as it is more water proof and vents provide the breathability. She did say that the aqualon will fade more than the sunbrella but the overall performance is worth the visual appearance tradeoff.

Thoughts?
