I managed a yard that used SR for storing boats and i have these comments:
$800 is WAY high.
Careful to use blue, not clear, to avoid making greenhouse oven.
very careful to ventilate, moisture is the biggest problem. warming of the
upper portions evaporates moisture but it condenses in the hidden parts
like lockers, behind stoves...day/nite cycles go all winter.
the shrinkwrapping is really only convenient for smaller boats althought
the market has 'expanded' because it looks neat and tidy. As you notice,
getting around the wide high part is tough. I suggest getting a big 50x50
blue tarp for $50-100 and then a cargo or fishnet to keep it from flapping
and save the money for ????. in 14 yrs i have tried them all including
indoor storage and the tarp/net combo is by far the cheapest and easiest.
tie or weight only the net and then the ends (fore/aft) of the tarp. The
blue tarps last 2-3 yrs in canada. It will ventilate well and stay put.

A friend and I are thinking of investing in the Dr. Shrink kit and shrink
wrapping our Pearson 422's ourselves. (We have both been quoted $800 for
the
job at our two yards. It seems that we can do it for MUCH less than
that
ourselves.) I've seen demos and watched them do it at the yard and it
doesn't seem to be "rocket science".
One question I have is how to reach up to the top of the ridge pole with
the
heater at the beamy part of the boat?
Does anybody have recommendations for/against??
