To put salt in my wounds, I open the local paper that night, there is a guy with a ad that says...Have gun will travel, $8/ft. no brainer...shrink it. Save the tarp for when you roof springs a leak.

The part hard is done. I been doing my own since day one. now that your frame is built, just keep it in a couple of pieces and put it back on next year.
I have 3 stands (look like upside-down tees of 2x3s), one on the bow, one in the cockpit, and one in the engine well. I run two 2x4s from the middle stand to the front and back just bolted on. then I just run ropes over the top and tie them on the trailer or railing. Throw the tarp over all and bungee cord it down, takes me about 2 hours and its the same every year. Just my $.02.
I winterized the power today, and I'll cover tomorrow.
