I wonder where can we buy the material to shrink wrap boats for the winter.
"sherwindu" wrote in message ... To be safe, I would only crack the ports and hatches. You don't need a huge amount of air circulation to keep mold from forming. I would however add some of these anti-mold packets (available at West Marine) scattered through the boat, especially if you are in a mild winter zone. Sherwin D.

Leave all the ports and hatches open under your shelter. -- Roger Long wrote in message oups.com... Hi, I just bought my 25' cruiser and I hope to store it in my back yard (alot of space) for winter. I need your help on deciding whether to shrink wrap or not. Marina's around here asks for around $200.00. Even if I shrink wrap it, my village requires the boat to be totally enclosed. In order to enclose, I have decided to buy a shelter that comes with a metal frame and tarps that closes from all sides for around $700.00. This looks great and it comes with a warranty. I was thinking this will save me money on the long run. The shelter will remain permanently. The floor ofcourse will be my yard (grass). Since I have a shelter that covers the boat from all sides do I still need to shrink wrap? Some one mentioned about moisture problems and shrink wrap is the best and my shelter will not work for this. Any words of wisdom is greatly appreciated. I was hoping the shelter will be sufficient and save the $200 annual cost. Thanks, RD |
