Default ... is it time for a $49.95 Wal-Mart boat cover?

My boat, a 1992-16' Alumacraft side steer with a small windshield and a 40-hp outboard continues to get the protection job done with a Sunbrella cover made by Village Canvas-Bev Lapham in 1993. One of these years or months, it needs to be replaced? So's how much will it cost, and do all three different canvas makers charge the same price for a 16'-er?

Can recall paying about $600 back in 1993, which was expensive, but it was very well made, and it gets re-waterproofed every two years with something like a 13-dollar gallon of Thompson's water seal, sprayed on while still on the boat.....and very easy to do with an el cheapo, ten dollar, 1-gal garden sprayer.
