You can buy the shrinkwrap yourself. Use a heat gun, from what I
understand. "Bert Robbins" wrote in message ... wrote in message ups.com... Hello, Anybody try Stretch wrapping their boat.I paid over $200 last year to shrinkwrap my 24ft boat.This could be cheaper and I can do it myself. Thanks Mike Do you have enough time and money to do it twice? |

Do a search on the net for boat shrink wrap. You can buy a kit, including gun and a roll of shrink wrap. You will also need nylon strapping and vents. The gun is actually more than just a heat gun...it is fueled by propane and has a large open flame. It will take a couple of years of shrink wrapping your boat to make up for the cost of the kit. Make sure your insurance policy is up to date before you attempt to do your own boat and make sure your marina (or yard where your store) will allow you to do this. Also be prepared to accept some damage to your boat when doing it for the first time. ;-) |

Compared to how much it costs to have it done, either mobile or a dealer/marina, you can save a lot of money with a little initial investment. My plan is to renovate my garage and extend it two feet so I can get My Sandpiper 565 inside. |
