This will be my 4th winter in Maine with a sizable boat and every year I've shrunk wrap the boat myself.

This is not rocket science people! buy the $100 torch gun, every year I buy one '120 roll on-line with shipping it costs $140. I get two "new coverings" out of that one roll.

The ice and Snow, (we get a lot of both here in Maine) slide right off the slick surface.

I made mini A-frames to stand OUTSIDE my stanchions to keep the stress independent of the deck.

And it's fun to burn all the hair off your arm between the end of the jacket and the beginning of the gloves you wear.
