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.

Things done at the last possible minute are done with the greatest possible information. Procrastination is, therefore, the most efficient means of doing things.
