time
and time again, where the wrap is peeled off in the spring then is
disposed of.

So is shrink wrap really that good of investment.

Of course I'm one to talk. I don't have a cover on my boats, but then
again, I store them in my warehouse.
You know, I wonder the same thing. I've got a nicely fitting canvas
cover,
propped up down the centerline with nylon rope which I can easily
tighten
when needed. The cover costs about $400, new, and I think it'll be
good for
at least four years, going by past experience.

I don't see the advantage of shrink wrap. This way, if there's a
great day
in January and I want to go out, I can do so.

That makes more sense than shrink wrap. If a canvas cover runs 400
bucks, that's about 3 years worth of shrink wrap. If the cover lasts
4 years, you're ahead of the game. Shrink wrap never made any
financial sense to me. Maybe I'm missing something...

Since I boat during the winter, I have a portable garage from
Costco. About $180. Plus a $700 snap on boat cover. Since we get
so little snow. Maybe an inch or two every 10 years, mine works to
shelter the boat from sun damage.

I can't understand why a person with a barn would even consider spending
money on shrink wrap every year. I'd just back the boat into the barn and
shut the doors.



If you had an old barn, your family members probably would shove you
into it, barricade the doors, pour gasoline on the wood siding, and set
it ablaze. That way, your wife could find herself a man who'd rather
spend time with her than pretend he was a golfer.

Tell us again why your (wife?) refuses to use Krause as her surname. Is
she embarrassed to be associated with you? It must be a heart breaker,
knowing how she feels about you. Eh.
