A couple more downsides to shrink wrap: there's no ventilation in a shrink-wrapped boat..it traps and holds humidity, resulting in moldy musty interiors next spring. You can't go aboard on any of those occasional amazing days in the middle of winter to open it up to let it air out, or check on anything--like finding out whether any critters have decided to homestead your cabin--or do any of those little projects you should do this fall, but didn't and COULD do if you could go aboard for a day. IMO, you're a lot better off giving your hull and deck a heavy coat of wax to protect the fiberglass...and then cover it instead of shrinkwrapping it. A couple of winters ago, when the guy I crew with used shrink wrap on his Mirage 33, he had at least two vents and a zippered access door taped in. It worked great...but is a bit expensive. |
