I always tie to the trailer. I just got done putting the light duty tarp on to keep the leaves out. I hate a boat full of decaying leaves.

Tying to the trailer is probably ok. Likwids point he is trying to make is never tie off to jack stands. This is an absolute no no. Stands get a little loose over time and if the wind catches the tarp and pulls the stands out....... over goes the boat.

I like the now muss no fuzz of a shrinkwrap solution.
I have been going out there with a broom for 25 years, snow in my boots, up my sleeves, so on.
Anybody own a shrinkwrap gun they want to rent?
You can do it yourself for reasonable money except for the dang heat gun.

A Taylor made boat cover. Instead of using the pvc stuff for the peak this year, I'm going to use one of those big pool cover pillows.
