Default Shrinkwrap Pro's and Con's...help

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.


Nothing more to add to Harry's comments except to say that you need to
make sure the tent is properly vented at the TOP of the tent. Some
install the vents at the bottom because it's easier and they don't
have to climb a ladder.

As to condensation and mold, venting should take care of that, but be
sure to remove any cushions, open all the hatches and make sure they
stay that way, don't vent your gas cap - as in loosen it. Battery
removal is your personal choice - I don't remove my batteries, but I
disconnect them and put them on a monitored trickle charge system over
winter. Usually in the Spring, I have to top off with a little
distilled water, but nothing major.

If you are really concerned about mold, go to West and get one of
those mold bag dealies.
