Looking for a replacement cover for a Clacka FB 16. The current one is some type of canvas and I’d like to get something UV resistant and somewhat waterproof. I found the two below but if you have good (or bad) experiences with other options, let me know. Would prefer a cover that’s compatible with keeping the oar locks installed.

my used Clack WF came with a 5C cover, fit like a glove, boat was always parked outside, cover faded but still going strong when I sold the boat years later.
 
I also have a Five-Cs cover and highly recommend them. Mine is going strong after 10+ years. I used to put a second inexpensive cover on it over the winter, but no longer do that. They made one to fit my 1985 Clack high-side boat. https://fivecsboatcovers.com/. I’ll post a photo tomorrow when it is light.
 
They are well made covers. I purchased mine in 2016 and it is going strong. I use the old seats for the boat to support the cover so it sheds water. I do remove my oar locks, but they might be able to build a cover that will accommodate them. It’s a quick process to remove them.

Our 2005 WF has the factory Clack cover that has seen better days, but in researching here and elsewhere, the 5c's covers are very popular and hold up well. I had a Covercraft on my older Clack that was about half the price of the 5c's and it was okay (compared to the reviews of 5c's and my factory cover). Not as thick, which let moisture in, but also breathed slightly. The straps were annoying since they were universal and not made for a specific Drift Boat, which also effected the fit. Seems like the 5c's is worth the upgrade for fit and longevity.
