For my current boat, I purchased a cover, from Amazon, on 9/30/14, for $80. On 1/29/15 I had to replace that cover with a cover from Boat Covers Direct, for $349! Finally, I purchased a custom cover, from Brian's Canvas Products, for $513. My boat is stored outside and I will likely need to replace my current cover next year.
I would encourage you to have a custom cover made at Brian's Canvas Products. Yesterday, I picked up my custom cover, for my SnowKitty, from Brian's Canvas Products. I would also be extremely careful about putting a second cover over an existing cover. Moisture can be trapped between the two covers and, depending upon the material on the cover underneath, the cover may rot.
One of the most important things to have a cover last is to have the cover fit the boat tight so that the cover doesn't whip in the wind as one is driving down the highway at 70 mph. A cover whipping in wind will destroy a cover extremely fast. The best way to prevent having this situation is to have a custom cover made for one's boat.
