After I got a new 2001 Crownline 202 BR that came with a OEM westland tarp that lasted nearly 6 years I thought I would replace it with a new westland exact fit tarp,this turned out to be a BIG mistake.The new tarp came with to much excess materal in the seating area whitch made it impossible to tighten up enough to prevent it from holding water.After a couple of exchanges (the last 3 years due to illness the boat was stored in a friends warehouse so did not take the last tarp out of the box untill this year) westland offered no fixes to this problem.Now westland says that it is out of warranty but I did find out they now sell this product with a suspension kit to help with this problem whitch tells me they know they have a issue.I want to make this perfectly clear this a BAD FIT AND FINISH ISSUE.Westland now says they would be glad to sell me a new tarp and get this with no warranty and no exchange (a great deal uh).Out of all of these tarps this product has not had a TOTAL of one month on the boat without a failure,thank god for home depot blue tarps or the weather would have got to my boat. I am 59 years and have been a boat owner for almost 40 years and have never had this much trouble with a tarp including cheap ones .This is also the first time I have ever written a compliant but I feel this strongly about this Thank You
