I reuse my shrink wrap, this will be year #4. Put the same basic frame together each year, start from the front and pull the wrap back to the rear. Tie it together with plastic strapping from 1 side - under the hull to the other side. No issues so far and the boat is a lot cleaner in the spring.

Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day ...
show him where to fish and ... you'll be sorry

Shrinkwrap online, I am down to about 4.50 a foot. I don't reuse it.

Interested in PRBuzz's solution as that would fit year round

Although I have not done it, supposedly you can tow while the cover is in place.

Takes about 10min to remove cover and maybe 2-3X that to put on. I have not tried to do in a hurry as the cover has only been on the boat 2X: once for practice and once for the entire winter. The 3rd time is quickly approaching, maybe early Dec.

Given the diversity of the human species, there is no “normal” human genome sequence. We are all mutants.

Not for towing but for sideyard docking
