Boat covers...

My wife bought me a gift certificate for a custom boat cover from a local canvas shop for my new duckboat. I visited the shop after Christmas to check it out and I'm very impressed with his quality of work. We have a very large lake with boats ranging from little runabouts to some sailing vessels over 60', so this guy gets lots of work on many varied yachts. I have some options to consider:

1) Type of material, a heavy coated polyester fabric or Sumbrella?

2) Straps under the boat and trailer or snaps installed along the sheer?

3) Other ideas or suggestions? Apparently he installs some sort of pole to peak the canvas cover and prevent snow from accumulating and sagging in the cockpit. The cover will also extend and cover the outboard motor.

Thanks for your input as usual.

John
