Temporary Pontoon Boat Cover

While the mooring covers that come with most pontoon boats are great, they are a real pain to put on and take off each and every weekend in the HOT sun then have to snap all the snaps, etc.
So I was curious if anyone had found an alternative such as a temporary lightweight waterproof cover with a strong adjustable bungee cord around the bottom that would not blow off in a high wind storm and also allow you to put some poles up so the rain rolls off.
Thanks.

Last weekend, we snapped and unsnapped several times around the rain, I was thinking "there's got to be a quicker/better way" (with no dock cover and lift).

We have found that when the weather is so damp and we leave the covers on for a few days, all we get is mildew.

When you read the fine print each of these covers they state ---"NOT designed for on water storage or for every day use".

I got one of those but it isn't very good for a pontoon, I even got the tensioner frame kit. Rainwater collects easily but it is at least waterproof for now- just looks like junk.

I don't think there is a good answer other than a covered boat slip. I have gotten quick enough to put my snap cover on in less than 5 minutes, but It's still a pain; I'm not sure I could do anything else faster. In addition, mold is a problem with the cover on for extended periods. Without a cover, sun damage is a problem. Since my neighborhood won't allow a boat house or covered slip, I've started pulling the boat out and putting it in the garage (to dry out) when I know I wont use it for several days....with my own ramp and tractor, I can do that in about 5 minutes too.
