Two questions...covers and winterizing

[Sikiguya]

Been quiet up here in Wisconsin. Hoping for another stretch of good weather before having to put the boat away. I have two questions for everyone.

1. Poppy trailer cover vs Seadoo OEM. What are the pros and cons of each? What is the biggest difference?

2. Winterizing. What is all involved with it? What is the average cost by your Seadoo dealer?

I don't have any experience with the sea doo covers. I oredered a Poppy cover and I am very satisfied with the cover and that company. The cover I got for my sportster 1800 came with 2 suport poles to keep the water from pooling on the cover. It also has a rachet strap that goes all the way around the boat and the ratchet is in it's own compartment to keep from scratching the hull, there are 2 vents by the back seats to let the air circulate in the boat and there are 2 side straps that go from the cover to the trailer frame to make sure it stay secure. THe cover was a very good fit. When I ordered the cover I ask asked for 2 day delivery and it was there the second day with a note in it saying that the ground delvery and the second day delvery would have gotten it there the same time and the ground was cheaper. With the note in a envelope was a cash refund on the difference of shipping.

The only bad part about the Poppy cover was that I couldn't pick any color I wanted. They only had one color option. But that's not really a big deal to me
