For those of y'all that haven't picked up on it yet, I will spend countless hours, and many dollars making everything as quick and easy as possible. My trailer is/will be set up for maximum launching/loading efficiency. My wiring chase makes it easy to change/modify electrical work, I have a quick disconnect on dang near everything. My prep time for taking the boat out, and pulling it in are very quick, both at the house, and at the ramp. An onboard charger, and power run across the yard will almost complete this idea of maximum efficiency. I don't want anything regarding boating/fishing to be a chore, and want it all as simple as possible.
Now, after the charger, and tilt and trim on the outboard, I need a better way to cover the dang boat. Right now, I have a tarp with PVC supports, held down with varying bungees. Works pretty well, but it is somewhat of a hassle to put up and take down, causing me to sometimes leave the boat uncovered, knowing I will use it next weekend. But, I am tired of sweeping out half chewed nuts from where squirrels have chewed them up in there, and I know the rainstorms aren't helping the carpet in any way. Plus, I like to go fiddle with my tackle during the wek.
I want to know what sort of longevity I will get out of something like this.
I think I saw it for 199 at Sams the other day.

I live in North Georgia, so the Sun will be a factor, but snow won't. The place I would put it is partially shady, but does see sun part of the day. I really like the idea of backing the boat under, plugging in the onboard charger, zipping the door up, and being done with it.
What sort of life can I expect to see out of this, or should I hold out to when I can make a steel/aluminum one?
