I purchased mine from BPS and it is the same model that was for the 175 Tracker model...?
It is really snug and tight fitting.. My question is will they last while driving a 500 mile trip?

used mine all the time towing with no problem. id suggest maybe running an extra strap around the front section across the deck and under the boat to tighten the cover down more. that section tends to fill with air from the wind/air stream on the highway. with an extra strap around that section it shouldnt be to bad. the side straps near the seating area help keep that down and tight during driving. now that the weather is nice out and if i head out with no rain in forcast, i just drive without it. but it stays in the car incase of rain.

If it's the Dowco brand it should be fine

Here is where I ordered a cover for my 195 TXW.  Little more money but i went with the upgraded Sunbrella fabric (its the same fabric I have on my Colbalt R7) it fits very well, has reinforcements sewn where needed over the TM, corners, ect, and includes a cover for the motor and a nice mesh carrying bag.

I would say that it depends mostly on what type and grade of material the cover is made of. I think this is where the saying, "You get what you paid for," may apply. Some covers are mostly just dust covers where others are  designed to stay on the boat while in transit.

Boat cover sags with rainwater and fills boat. Poles that came with this cover are useless. Any help?

Build a dummy console out of thin plywood and put it on the other side to hold the cover up there also. :)

Mine is a Tracker Pro Team 195TXW Tournament Edition. The only difference I'm aware of is that Tournament Edition has a 24 volt 70 lb. thrust Min Kota trolling motor. I don't know if that makes a difference or not but so far two of the covers I've bought did not fit the 98" beam width and the full length of the boat over the trolling motor.

Anyone have a Tournament Edition with a cover?

Same problem here... It is less than a year old, never traveled, just on/off when stored. Tearing at the back corners. Waste of hundreds$$$

I'd be back at the service desk ready to make a scene!!

You need to go custom, especially if you're going to tow with it on. It's better safe than sorry while you're running at 80MPH.

That's my vote. Planning to do the same on my 2018 Tracker 190TX.
