Cover Help

[StarBoard7]

Hello all,

I am looking for a couple tips or ideas on buying a new cover.
I currently own a 96 Ranger 19.5' 200hp.
For the past 5 yeras or so I have been left with no choice but to store my boat outside even through the winter and I live in Cleveland which doesn't help.
Anyway the winters have finally caught up to my custom ranger cover so I am in the market for a new one.

Basically I am looking for a little help on what I should go with considering my baot will have to likley go through some more cleveland winters outside.

I have called Ranger and I can get a custom cover for around $700.

I would really prefer a tough,easy to handle cover that has an attached motorhood if possible.

i love the cover I have right now so much that I actually thought about seeing if it was worth getting repaired (some nice rips and holes mostly seems) but it takes like 2 minutes to put on and is snug with a motor hood custom for my boat.

Any ideas or tips on what I should maybe do??

Thanks to all.

I bought a cover about five years ago from Pep Boys.  It was the same one that Bass Pro sells for about $239.  I got it for $69.  I am going to buy a new one this year.  Going to buy the same one from Pep Boys.
