How much would it cost to shrink wrap a 30' boat? (approx)
think $20 per foot.
$600.
Way to much......mine cost $210.00 28' plus swim platform (10 ft
beam)
DIY will be less than $100
ok, ill bite - where?
the cheapest i can get the contender done for is at least $400.
North of Detroit. It was an independant business not tied to the
marina.
They sell the kits at West Marine, etc. for a little over $100. I
helped a couple of friends do their boats last fall, so I will probably
do
mine this coming winter......it isn't that hard......as long as it is
not
windy and you have 3 people.
thats just the shrink wrap. the gun is around $400 and thats just the
cheapo propane bloe torch. the cheapest pack of shrink wrap for a 30'
boat was almost $200.
Well, there is a lot of packaging type business in the area because of the
auto plants.
The gun........well I have to fess up....one of the guys on the dock was a
engineer in packaging, and when he retired they gave him an old one.....that
would cost about $1200 to buy new. :-)
It did make life easier.
you guys must have a good source of wrap plastic.
Isn't this what they use? I can't imagine a propane torch!
