Not Much Good
,October 15, 2011
By Procrafter
from Cochise County, Arizona
Disadvantages: Performance, the locking device is too weak.
"Very good concept, however the weight of the cover pushes the "T" down until you still have water pockets."

Overall Rating:
not a good purchase
,September 13, 2011
By wheels
from alden, new york
Disadvantages: Performance, Quality, straps & pole not heavy duty enough
"bought this for a 14' 6" deep v hull fishing boat. put the telescoping pole 6" higher than the folded down seats on the boat after i made sure it was closed tight enough to hold its height, then pulled the straps from the front to the back of the boat as tight as could be. i even went back and retightened all straps as they had stretched a little bit. it looked quite impressive! then i proceeded to put the boat cover over the boat support system.i stretched and tightened everything down with ties that i provided. after all that it looked like it would work. then came the first heavy rain storm. the telescoping pole had totally collapsed and the straps were so cheap that they just kept stretching, so by the time the rain stopped a little while later....the whole system had collapsed. the support system had failed so badly that the boat cover was now inside the boat with so much water in it that i had to get a bucket to bale it out before i could get the cover out of the boat. needless to say i have sent the boat support system back to bass pro for a refund. it just didn't work for me."

"I purchased one of these about 4 years ago to use for the cover on my 20ft cuddy. Worked great until this past winter when the deep snow took its toll on the cross bar. I can't complain about that and that is why I ordered my second one. It really works great."

Good cover Support
,November 23, 2010
By stone7
from CA
"Overall works well, and supports the cover well. You will need to be able to pull your cover tight and strap it down for the best performance, but that goes without saying. It does take a few minutes to set up and is easier with 2 people. So far it has helped hold the rain off my boat well."

Needs do-it-yourself modification
,June 27, 2010
By iamaham
from IL.
Advantages: good idea but needs improvement
Disadvantages: Quality, weak materials
"This product should work well if you adapt it in such a way as to strengthen the top of the support pole structure which is made out of cheap, weak plastic. This is my 2nd one - the first one broke soon after purchasing it. I don't know what else to use so I bought this 2nd one and modified it with a couple of pieces of treated wood to give it more strength and prevent it from breaking in half. So far so good. Heavy rains and winter snows may tell a different story. Time will tell.
Without a do-it-yourself modification it is a piece of junk that will break in a short amount of time. With the modification it appears to be a good way to prop up and support the boat cover so that most of the rain just runs off the cover rather than collecting/pooling on top of it."

"There hasn't been enough time to really prove this system out. The monsoon season will be coming and with it strong winds. This will test the system. Also the winter snow will give it some work. For now it is working fine with the winds and some rain that we have had."

Very good - I like

Advantages: Design, Features
Disadvantages: Quality
"This product is very good. I'd have given it a 5 and a "great" if the black plastic holder that forms the top of the "roof" and strap holder was made of slightly thicker material - I can sense that it will be the first to break at some point. Overall, really good product, decent price, I'd recommend."

"I'm about to buy my second one. While it was new, it was fantastic! The spreader is not strong enough to support very much weight over time and it snapped in half. The locking collar began slipping after a year. It is easier to buy and then reinforce/improve than to make my own."

Boat Cover Support System
,May 4, 2009
By ChuckH
from Glens Falls, NY
Disadvantages: Difficult to use, Performance, Quality
"I purchased this item several years ago. The plastic piece on top of the pole broke soon after I started using it. The plastic is much too weak and the method of attaching the straps to the plastic was poor at best. I was able to rig up the support using an old ski belt and some cable ties which worked OK for about 2 years. Then last night as it was getting dark and I was covering my boat due to the rainy week ahead, the pole stopped working - wouldn't telescope properly. I expect my boat cover to look like a pool liner the next time I get up to the lake. As for the Boat Cover Support System, it is a great concept but poorly designed and of poor quality."

Review 18 for Deluxe Boat Cover Support System
Overall Rating:
Only ok after modification
,March 21, 2008
By fishfan
from IL
"I don't like this cover support.
The back hooks are big and clunky, and they don't hook onto my rear rope cleats very well.
The anti-scuff tube that is supposed to protect the front of the bow never stays centered. I put it on centered, but the next time I uncover the boat, it has slipped off to one side or the other.
And last but not least, the center cover support piece is just bad. It is plastic and it is flimsy. The strap fits through clips on the side of the bracket, and if you try to tighten the straps, it starts to fold the support bracket down. The bracket will not support the cover in a heavy rain, and puddles will form in the back corners of your cover. Also the support pole fits into the bracket very, very tightly, and it is difficult to remove for stowage.
I modified the bracket by attaching a piece of cedar to the top of it to increase it's stability, and that barely makes this product ok."

"This maybe the worst product I have ever purchased. The plastic bar on the telescoping pole will bend under any pressure. I ended up using just the straps on a wood brace that I made."
