On shrink wrapping boats.... On my first cruiser (in Ohio) I couldn't wrap my head around the cost of shrink wrap and then throwing it in the trash 6 months later. Instead I spent a weekend on the boat (while dry docked and cold) w/a couple of huge Walmart tarps,a load of 2 x 4's and my miter saw. After 2 days of work I was satisfied w/what I had and started the 2 hr trip home. A couple months later a buddy was working in the area and stopped to check on the boat. The marina decided to teach me a lesson (being a vocal smart ass about wasting money on shrink wrap) and stored it on the end of their peninsula where the the first thing the Lake Erie winter wind hit, was my boat. So my buddy calls from his truck to tell me that the tarp shredded, destroyed the 2 x 4 framing, the drywall screws holding it all together had broken, trashing the paint as the wind swung the mess from side to side! On the forward section, that mess wrapped itself around the bow rail, destroying it and ripping it off the front of the boat! It was hanging over the gunnel, the shredded tarp acting as a sail in the wind and tearing up the paint on the hull. Yes, I tend to learn things the hard way ;) |

leaned my lesson one winter too, then I learned how to shrink-wrap. Note: do not tow your boat any significant distance while shrink-wrapped, will damage paint. There are tape that must be applied on the boat first before the shrink-wrap is applied. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K4H32ZtXGL0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RCaUMG-1Q5I http://mrshrinkwrap.com . |
