Faced with $640 worth of storage for four months, I'm giving the shrink wrap idea some consideration. But, never having had a boat shrink wrapped, I don't know what the pro's and con's are. Any help in this area would be appreciated. Other than the expense, there are no cons. Mike down at BP will do the job for you at about $12 a foot, and you can store over the winter there for about $150, until April, I believe. Then the usual storage fees start again. Tri-State gets about $13.50 a foot. Basically, for center consoles, the wrapper runs a web strap from the bow to the stern to create a vee under the wrap so water runs off onto the ground. The boat is wrapped, along with the engine, and an vent usually is left at the transom. The wrapping keeps all the winter crap out of your boat so when you remove the wrap in the spring, the boat is as clean as you left it. Keeps the UV out, too. Some guys can reuse the wrap for an additional season. |
