People think that these guys want to much money for shrink wrap....
Let me tell you , IT'S WORTH EVERY PENNY !!
Tarps SUCK , & boat covers don't work well after a year or 2 .
I bought all the stuff to do it a few years ago and was doing shrink wrapping ......
THAT JOB SUCKS !! It is a LOT of work !
I will not do it anymore for ANYONE ! I hate doing it ! My hat is off to you guys that do it . You have more patients then I do ! And it is worth every penny you ask for it ! Next to a garage , shrink wrap is the only thing going to keep your boat nice !
A note to anyone thinking of buying the stuff and doing it themself, DON'T ! Let someone else do it ,it's worth it ! Joe

Thanks, boot.
We did our little boat (14') last weekend and I didn't think it was all that bad. The prep work is the hardest part. If the weather cooperates this weekend, we will be shrink wrapping our 47' Fountain and a friend's 288 Sunsation (and winterizing).
Going rate is anywhere from $11-18 per foot. We will do it for $8 /foot.
What are friends for??

Be doin mine for years. Put up a wooden frame and a zippered door in the back and you can work on it over the winter too. Two years ago I redid my whole dash and some upholstery over the winter. Sunny day in the 30's and you can work in just a flannel shirt and jeans in comfort.
