................Fisher Boat covers?

The barn storage deal fell through and I will be storing the boat in an
outside yard (at least it is free). I already have the boat covered with a
full mooring cover (in fair condition but with some small holes in it) and
will probably add a 6 mil plastic cover over it supported by a simple PVC
frame. The yard is open to some pretty strong winds in the winter and the
yard owner advised me to double tarp it.

Next year I may be looking to upgrade the winter cover to a Fisher cover:

I was already quoted $700 by them for a custom fit cover for my exact boat.
These covers are expensive but are supposed to be top shelf and have close
to a 10 year life expectancy. If that holds up, $70/season is not bad.

Do you have any experience with them?

I don't - my brother does.

Great customer service, good fit to the boat and they stand behind the
product.

Thanks Tom.

I buy decent but generic canvas covers for my bass boat, at around $100
a piece at a local boat dealer. Works well, and I get three or four
years out of them. So, at $700 for a custom one, with 10 years life,
I'd lose money.

The barn storage deal fell through...

So you finally showed up and introduced yourself to the barn owner?
Predictable outcome.

He probably went and demanded a lot of the barn owner, kind of like,
I'll call you names and spread vicious rumors and lies about you, but
if you do it to me, I'll cry like a little baby!!!

Nice sentence! Could use a few more commas, however.
