My wife just got me (really for her and the kids) one for Christmas. It was from ocean south for around 180 (Size 6 -5x7x8 in gray since I didn’t think their blue would match the navy curtains in my 2003 seafarer) I rolled back the shrink wrap and put it on yesterday. I was really impressed with both the poles and the weight of the cover. I thought they’d be pretty cheap based on the price but both seem heavy duty (time and some strong wind gusts will tell)
. There is no flex in the fabric but I I hooked the fabric directly to the poles without their rear connections and connected the front by going over the top of the hardtop. This approach made the fabric taught and I gave me plenty of headroom. Here is a picture of the setup. Note I may remove the back straps since the poles and tension seem to be more than enough from a strength and tension perspective. Good luck
