Winter Boat Covers

Harold F. Fisher & Sons, Inc. / Winter Boat Covers

Winter Boat Covers

After divesting itself of their winter storage business in 1991, Fisher and Sons returned to the market in 2003. Spending three years of modifying different versions, a new model of winter boat cover was launched to go along with the tried and true Canvas Winter Storage Cover. Using an industrial Vinyl and a heavy grade Poly, an economical and lightweight cover was developed. With half the weight and approximately 60% of the cost of the canvas cover, the Vinyl/Poly Cover has steadily gained a presence in the winter boat cover market. In the few years that it has been on the market the Vinyl/Poly Cover is covering boats from Massachussetts to Maryland.

Though the Canvas and the Vinyl/Poly cover are both fabricated with the same “panel and section” method, there are many differences. Please see our FAQ for more information
