I am looking at a cover from national covers and ready to pull the trigger. Question....is the sunbrella cover worth 360 more than the windstorm cover?

Was wondering the same thing, especially since the sunbrella needs to be retreated after a few years anyway.

How long have you had it before it faded.What color is it,they warned me to stay away from the brighter colors.I was thinking the light grey.Ive never been a fan of Sunbrella a few of my fellow boaters haven't been that happy with it for moring covers but like it for the cockpit cover.Kind of why I wanted to try something else but maybe not the Surlast
Thanks for the info, Guy

sunbrella really is noy a good fabric for a cover because it leaks after a few years abd needs to be treated every year..i have had my canvas guy do many covers for my customers,he turned me on to aqualon which has resin impregnated with resin,,my insurance mans cover is 20 yrs old and the water still beads off it.. http://www.glfi.com/marinecatalog_aqualonpage.htm
