I'm thinking of investing in the stuff to do my own boat. Last year the marina charged $10/ft, and
now they're up to $12/foot. The supplies ran me $60 last year.

Wonder what all I'd need to do my own boat? Anyone done it?

Well, I just looked at the price of the gun - $650. Maybe I'll hold off for a while.

I ordered the Navigloo Shelter from Costco when it was $50.00 off....
that is, I paid $289.00 + tax... shipping was free.

It's still in the carton waiting for my dealer to do the winterization on my new boat next week.

Better read a little further, Tim.

"This lightweight easy to use Shrink Wrap Heat Gun is great for packaging small items. Ideal for use
in shipping areas, parts departments, and printing plants. 115V, single phase standard with a 5 foot
cord and plug. Shrink wrap film not included. "

That looks and sounds like what we used to use for model airplanes.

Done correctly, a tarp over a properly constructed frame works as well
as shrink wrap. Cheaper and greener too.
