I don’t know how far they travel, but they come to Erie from the Niagara Falls, NY area (near Buffalo), which is about two hours by car. As I recall, the upfront cost for my 42 was a little under $5K (installed). I was a bit surprised because two friends who convinced me that it’s the way to go (Sabre 42 and C&C 41) each paid about $1,000 less a couple years earlier. The annual payment also increased from one payment of about $350 to two payments of a little over $200 each (fall and spring). Nevertheless, I’m glad I made the up-front investment, and I’m really glad that my winter cover is now on autopilot. The cover is great, and I’m getting too old for this DIY frame stuff.

What was your upfront cost? Danny On 10/4/2018 3:09 PM, Matthew L. Wolford via CnC-List wrote: 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 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.
