I wanted to give a BIG shout out to Brent Fleming at Coversports for building my cover. I read every thread I could about his covers before ordering, as well as talked with him via phone and email. I only had one instance where correspondence was not returned and that is because the email link was incorrect. All other emails were promptly returned within the next day as well as phone messages I left for him. He took time to answer all my questions over the phone before I ever ordered, and followup questions via email the next day. There were a few items I had in mind to customize from his normal covers, but he explained why they would or wouldn't work.
From the date of order (April 16) to the day it arrived (June 17) was 1 day shy of 9 weeks. He originally told me 5-6 weeks, but I wasn't in too big a rush as long as it got here by this week for a trip I will be taking this weekend. I followed up with Brent 4 weeks after ordering to check on progress and he said he was running a bit behind. He apologized for the delay and offered to me free of charge to upgrade the clips that connect the rope at the tower legs to metal instead of his normal plastic ($30 up charge normally) and "Ferrari" vinyl on the bow area which evidently is some discontinued high-grade marine vinyl he has sitting back (no idea on what it cost), and that it would ship out by June 6. I received and email with tracking info June 8.
I had it installed within an hour. I will wait to trim the straps to length for a bit once the fabric has time to stretch some. The only real issue I can speak of is lack of installation instructions, but I read threads with other owners who detailed their install and that helped very much. I do have questions about exactly where 2 straps go as I may have them wrong, and I want to advise Brent of one small change he may think about in future covers. Other than that I'm pleased.
Brent is a stand-up guy with stellar product. I read plenty of poor reviews about many points I have hit on here as well as many positive reviews. I just wanted to share my great experience with him and his company to put at ease some others that may be looking for a Coversports cover. You can buy with confidence!!!
Now onto the important part... PICS!!!
