Exact Fit Boat Cover Competitor Comparison

Westland, sister company to Great Lakes Boat Top Co., has been making Exact Fit Boat Covers for 30 years. We think we have The Best Fitting Boat Cover, if not The Best Boat Cover period. To determine if we were right, we tested our cover against others you can buy. See for yourself below:



Ball Tip Needles Don't Damage Fabric
Westland uses ball point needles that have a rounded tip as opposed to a sharp tip.
Sharp tip needles of the competition cut through the fabric with every stitch.
By contrast, the rounded tip of a ball point separates fibers, thus practically eliminating the potential of damaging the fiber.

Panels Designed to Direct Water Run Off
Westland panels change direction to accommodate the natural path of water flow from the highest point on the boat to the lowest. If the panels of a boat cover are assembled like fish scales with the one on the right always under the one on the left, water will run under the seam as it runs off the front of the windshield. Westland panels are attached like shingles on a roof with the layering direction varying depending on placement so that water is always running over the seam, not under it like some competitor products.

Increased darting for improved fit.

Sewing and Stitching
Highest quality UV resistant thread with double needle seams.
Fabric edges are sealed to prevent unraveling and does not require a fold over hem which can let water into through the boat cover.
All boat cover darts are over-locked and lock stitched for moisture protection.

Reinforced at ALL Wear Points
Padded reinforcements made of an extra tough material are added at all vulnerable wear points of the boat cover to give maximum protection and extend the cover's life. Westland sews these reinforcements into the boat cover, while most competitors just glue them. Worse, many only reinforce the windshield, but Westland has multiple points of reinforcement.

Significantly reinforced to add longevity.
Same attention to detail paid to underside of the cover as the top.
