more loose-fitting cover myself. Besides, the cover can be reused 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.
