Boat Cover

[RNGRDVE]

I want to order a full cover for my boat. I don't plan in trailering with it just using for storage. Anyone bought a inexpensive cover that was good quality? I texted Dean and he's getting a price on a factory cover but I'm thinking it may be more than I want to spend. heres a couple I found online.
This one is fairly inexpensive but the no color options and the website is pretty cheap and generic.

This one is thinner than the other but has better color options and the website looks nicer which makes me feel a little better.

Any opinions would be appreciated.

I have one almost just like the two you posted for my 253. They work awesome for storage use, keeping the dust and dirt off the boat while its in the barn. Nice thing is, they seem to breathe pretty well too. I have never had any kind of musty smell out of the boat after an extended period of time under the cover. Of course, I always leave the boat uncovered with a box fan blowing for a couple of days after I have the boat out just to be sure its dry.

Dave I bought my Ranger cover from http://www.boatcoversdirect.com/ for half of what Ranger wanted. They're American made in Landrum, SC. I ordered a customed fitted cover for the Ranger.

I bought my cover through iboats.com that was subcontracted to a company out of Landrum SC and I was very happy. I just checked a price and it was in the mid $300 range.

I'm leaning towards the silvercloud brand. I can't decide if I should get a dark grey or the yellow. I have a feeling it'll get dirty quick.

I would not suggest the yellow. That'll show everything!!! My light gray one is bad enough.
