shrink wrap is best...but the traveling guys that do it are getting out of hand price wise....cheaper to buy a tank..torch...roll of wrap..line if your going to hang onto your boat for years to come...if not, you can always sell off the stuff.

I made a frame that kind of shells the boat out of PVC then I cover it with a green tarp 20X30' if we get big snow I'll go out and use a broom to clean it off,I also have acess to it all winter this will be year 4 ,my fish boxes are not self draining and they have not filled up over the winter ,come spring the antifreeze is still in the fish box.
I disconnect the PVC in spring and put away till next year.
Always tie off your tarp ,bungee's stretch and snap

There is a variable up to 500,000 BTU proprane torch at HD for 45 bucks.
Do people buy the 400 dollar unit to shrink wrap?
I am buying the DVD today.

I also made a PVC frame, make it rigid, and use a large job lot tarp. Worked every years so far. In a heavy snow you might just have to broom off a little. I use 1 gallon water jugs filled with water and tie to the edge's of the tarp. The tin boat I just flip over on wooden blocks. If I could afford it I would buy a shelter. P.

1" PVC conduit frame and $20 Job Lot Tarp. Sheds most all snow except the real sticky stuff. Then just use a broom. Would also buy a 10'x20' shelter if I had the $$$$$$.

...and he ain't lying. I have seen Mike's boat FROZEN in the slip with the engine DOWN. He is a legend in our marina. Even the old crusty quahoggers think Mike is the BALLS!!! |
No boat, back in the suds.
