This is a breathable cover so no moisture buildup inside however in a pounding downpour water will penetrate as with any water-resistant synthetic. I can easily put on/off by myself. My cover has a zipper on either side so as to permit easy access into the boat whenever I want.

I also attached a couple small solar panels (one to each battery) to keep batteries charged throughout winter (I don't remove from boat nor did I disconnect).
Paul, I saved the 1X3 ridge pole and supports from last year to support the new cover. Hopefully the most I would have to do is shorten the supports to fit the cover.

Buzz, did you get your cover from the same outfit I mentioned? Which material did you opt for? I like the solar panel idea. Where did you get them?
