Boat Guard Pontoon Cover

Anyone have any experience with this http://theboatguard.com/index.html. They also have an electric version https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JqTdMOsTdOk. They are pricey but I like the idea.
Don't let life make you look weak. Be like a duck. On the surface keep cool and smooth, even though you're paddling like hell underneath.

With it in the deployed position I see lots of places where rainwater will pool. I'd hate to see it after a big snow. Novel idea. I say it needs more work.

Neat idea but you would have to permanently remove your bimini?

No...supposedly it lays flat under the cover.

I contacted them. They quoted me $3600 for a 25 ft toon. That included delivery and installation to WI. Definitely pricy.

I'd be more interested if it was slightly wider and slid down rails on each side of the slip rather than attached directly to the boat. Adds a lot of weight, and is kind of ugly.
