EmpireCovers Aqua Armor Pontoon Boat Covers

The cover is very heavy and seems well built. I purchased for my 25' pontoon boat. I had a Komo for the past 2 years and that just started to rip and they don't sell the same model anymore. That cover kept all the rain out. This cover says "100% waterproof (not just resistant or repellent!)"... that is not the case (see pictures). This water came in after a moderate rain storm. Sometimes it comes in at the seams and other places it comes in the middle of the fabric. I am still deciding if I should keep it. I had tried the same brand a couple years ago for my bowrider. I had two covers that I sent back. The first one leaked and had a seam that was all bunched up. The company apologized and sent a replacement. The seams were good but water still came through all over the fabric. I thought maybe they had a bad batch back then. Here it is several years later and they still shouldn't be claiming 100% waterproof.

Straps are barely sewn on, tarp itself is not bad material. However be prepared to re sew all the strap connections. Very disappointing when you go to pull the straps tight and they just let go.

Like most of you reading this, I’m usually skeptical of the reviews. Some are too flowery and some just trash the product. So, I didn’t know what to think after reading reviews, but I ordered anyway. Glad I did. This is a good product that the reviews don’t give good credit. I’d give it six stars if I could because it beat my expectations. Reinforced seams and sturdy material with strong tie downs that go completely under the boat. I’d buy this again in a heartbeat! You should buy it!

Excellent as far as waterproof. Wish it was more fitting though. Over the bimini top the bottom of the cover doesn't reach the bottom of the playpen. The other side is fine. You definitely need some kind of frame to support it otherwise rain will pool and cave it in. I had a puddle of water that froze on it and it caved in, but the water didn't seep through.

Great value for the money. Built PVC support for use as a "winter cover" for the pontoon. Cheaper than paying to have it "shrunk wrap" by the local marina just for one season and cover will last for many seasons. Been installed for over 3 months and has withstood high winds, rain and snow without any issues. Moderate to easy to install. Better with 2 people.

Good boat cover. Need to buy the poles for it. I have use boat covers without the poles and they never last more than a year. I have had this cover on my pontoon boat for al oat a year now and it still looks good. Fits my 25 ft perfect.

Easy to install. Had to use 2, 6 foot ladders with life jackets to pad top of ladder to lift up to let the water run off. Canvas is well made but not water treated. Had to buy a gallon of starbright spf/waterproofing to treat canvas. Noticed moisture on the interior. Seats were getting mold. After treatment worked great.

I was looking for a cover to save wear and tear on the fitted cover that came with my Sun Tracker. After trying to use the cover on its own I finally ended up using it to cover the cover. The straps and elastic trim are not strong enough to keep it taunt. You absolutely will need support poles. Rain will pool and stretch the cover without them. I don't see how you can trailer with it. It is not form fitting and will not cover the playpen unless you remove the Bimini top frame. So far, as a cover for the cover, it seems to be working well enough.
