				 | Been shrink wrapping for years. This summer, got a great deal on a HD tarp and figured this year I would save some cash and tarp it myself. Well, its done but next year I will shrink wrap again.  By the time you build a frame and get it all set the better part of a day has passed. What was I thinking?  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.     |
