Re: Genco fitted winter covers
If it's done right, the wrap will be tight, no sharp points to poke through, the snow should slide off, none of the framing should break, and it should be properly vented.
If you're building a frame from which a cover will be measured/made, how well it holds up will be very dependent on how you build the frame so I recommend researching that carefully before you build. The framing, it's design, and how tight the wrap/cover are will have a huge impact on whether it all holds up. Poor framing practices and rushing the covering process is why most wraps and covers fail.

You must have seen this guys work, broke all of those and more, the same flaws can be seen thru-out the yard.
You know it is one thing to pay people, but in this case who will compensate me for my time in managing this, monitoring my boat and keeping the marina informed as to jack stands,snow loads,wrap condition,inspecting work and getting corrections done. When I had people to manage I personally checked their work, I did not expect others to do it, and that is very much the issue here.......nobody is managing, all left to the customer, who if he or she notices anything is branded a complainer.....interesting logic when it clearly states on the haul out forms that if you contract them for this service they will take care of all these things for you. I always wondered why a considerable number of people with very large boats were doing all this work themselves, when surely they could just pay someone, I believe I now know the answer.
Well they have cobbled up something and this weekend when it warms up I will go in AGAIN and take pics. Sorry, rant now over, so thats it, thanks for reading, I feel better now or at least I will when this winter is over.......

Re: Genco fitted winter covers
You're right, the customer should not have to be the one monitoring and advising what needs to be done. If it fails, it should be repaired right away, before the customer sees it. Of course you'd only do that if you cared! Getting a little tired of the idiots giving the rest of the industry a bad rap (pardon the pun).
