Another newbie question.
What is better or are there plusses and minus's for shrinkwrapping or a
full
quality cover over the Winter (Chesapeake area).


I'd say it depends on the type and size of vessel. Covers for small to
mid-sized trailer boats are readily available, and ought to be more
economical than wrapping in the long run. On the other hand, I know one
fellow who had a full zippered cover, including flybridge, made up about 10
years ago for his 32 ft sportfisher. Cost was about $3000, in lieu of
annual shrink-wrap of about $350 at the time, and much more now. It is
still in fine shape, and has more than paid for itself. It breathes well;
he's quite pleased and never seems to have any moisture problems.
