Lunatic, L-1800, Silver Boat Cover fits Many 12' - 14' V-Hull Fishing

Great cover for my 14' aluminum fishing boat. It arrived just before a 24 hour down pouring rain storm. The material is very flexible and stretchy. As it rained, the tarp filled with water and I would manually grab it and lift it to empty out the water. This is no fault of the cover as I should have made a frame for the cover to sit on inside of my boat to help the water run off the cover. After the rain stopped, I checked the carpet in the boat and it was completely dry. The winds during the storm were reaching up to 50 miles per hour and this cover stayed put on the boat. I can't speak about how long this cover will hold up yet. I believe this cover is a great buy and it will last longer than a regular tarp.... especially after it is on a frame that helps it shed the water.

I purchased the cover for my fishing boat that is kept in dry storage at our local lake in August of 2018. I was impressed on how it fit my little 12' aluminum fishing boat as I used 1/2" PVC to form a skeleton on top to help shed water in the event of rain and used long bungee cords to link the grommets underneath the hull. The cover was shiny and lightweight and looked good once installed, even the lake's maintenance workers complemented on how good the cover looked. (photo 1) Unfortunately it didn't last 6 months these pics (photo 2 & 3) were taken Feb 28, 2019. The fabric ripped along the PVC frames and the interior of the boat I intended to protect held all of the seasons rain and leaves inside the hull.I would not recommend for anything other than very short term use. I will go with a UV rated weather resistant cloth fabric in the future.

I picked this up, put it over the boat, and had rain about 2 days later. A rather large pool developed in the cover, but nothing dripped through. The pool had stretched the cover a little, but after removing the water, creating a bit of a frame under the cover to facilitate the water rolling off of the cover, and some hot days in the sun, the cover shrunk back into shape and works fine.Fort the price, I'd say it's an excellent purchase!Update: After the better part of a season in the rainy Pacific Northwest, the cover did develop a tear. Once it had a tear, it was pretty well over for the cover (the tear runs really easily). I am leaving the review as positive because it did survive having water pool up and weighing down the cover several times (after a few rains, several gallons of water were captured by the cover without any getting in). The cover itself is not a good shape for my drift boat, which has a wide teacup shape. I could not prop it up far enough to have a water-shedding shape and keep the boat covered at the widest point, and not sheding water is what killed it. On a more traditionally shaped boat, you should be able to create a peak in the middle of the boat that helps the cover maintain a water-shedding slope fro. The center to the outside edge in rain.

Extremely lightweight and no more than a large piece of plastic.Asked husband to buy a new boat cover as our old one finally ripped at a seam. He searched and thought he was buying one that would hold up in outside snow/rain/wind/sun conditions. Our prior one was heavy canvas that lasted 7 years in outside conditions. I am not sure if he failed to read the description or didn't realize this was no more than a thin plastic sheet.When arrived, it came in small box (shoe box size) and when I opened it, it is like trash bag plastic.I planned to return as this would not hold up to the outdoor conditions required. While I could return, I would be charged $7.00 for the shipping.While I will lay the blame with husband for not reading the description and reviews, I write the review to ensure do and ensure it meets their specific needs.

Fits well and seemed decent quality. Covered my boat for the winter but when I took the cover off there was a couple inches of water on the bottom. After taking a closer look at the description I saw it was meant for indoor use. Why sell a boat cover that’s not waterproof? I’d be happy if I stored my boat indoors but then I wouldn’t have needed the cover. ;)

The jon boat cover works great as a cover for Hobie PA14 kayak.

Fits good and it’s seems to be holding up

I only use this cover while my boat is sitting in my driveway. I do not tow my boat with the cover on it.First rip showed up after about three months of use, and now 6 months in the cover is already useless. Save your money and buy something that wont end up in the landfill after 6 months
