Matthew,
what company is that? how far do they go? where is your boat located?
What was your upfront cost?

I made a frame from pvc pipe and covered it with properly sized truck
tarps. Definitely less expensive, and not too bad to assemble and
disassemble/store, but it was more trouble than it’s worth. I now use
a service out of the Niagara Falls, NY area that built a metal frame
and custom cover. It was pricey up front but fits like a glove. Now,
for about $200 each fall, they show up, assemble the frame, and cover
the boat. For about the same price each spring, they show up,
disassemble the frame, remove the cover, and store the frame and cover
for the summer. No more ladders, lugging heavy tarps around,
repairing broken frame pieces, etc. Definitely worth it in my view.

I tried a different idea last year. I made 20 some brackets that just
clipped onto the toe rail and each slot. A piece of tubing was welded
straight up at that point. Then I bought several lengths of three
quarter inch plastic conduit, put them over the upright tubing,
straightforward up and then arched over the boat. In my case over the
laid down mast. Worked pretty good. I would have to do a little more
support for the snow that we had last December. Fortunately, I put it
on just after that, so it didn't crush the plastic tubing.
