shrink rap question

This is where it's all going on. One can ask for advice or general information or simply chew the fat about fishing tackle, tips, and locations.

I've never used the shrink wrap myself when I see it on boats stored at the marinas in the area they seem to stick a large pole in the center of the boat to allow the snow to fall off the wrap.....like a little Teepee....

I'm not sure I'm making sense... :lol:

As for shrink wrapping... it may be cheaper to invest in one of those cdn tire garages as after 2 years it'd work out to be free. It's not a cheap process expect to pay upwards of $160

I was thinking of using one of those tempo garages. I just moved here and everybody uses them for their cars. They must be somewhat solid and able to withstand the wind.

A 11 x 20 sells from 330-378$. Like John said after 2 years it is paid for.

I use one.
It is great, never even bother putting a cover on the boat.

And they are great if you are jonesing for a boat fix mid-winter. Put on your snowsuit, sit in your boat, and imagine your are racing down the river to your favorite bass hole. :D

Mine is in a sheltered postion with 2 hedges and 2 large trees so the wind doesn't really get at it. In an open area i would think the wind could potentially cause damage but they're very solid.

I have had my boat shrink wrapped every year since new and would highly recoment it.

The do put a big poll right in the middle. On the poll they also put some sort of device that I think sucks up the moisture ir keeps out the mice.

Go for it you will not regret it.
