I am about to store my 38' trawler outside this winter for the first time, and I am debating whether to pay the $ to have her shrink wrapped. In our marina, I have observed that about 20% of boats on the hard are fully wrapped for the winter. Most of the rest have various home-grown canvas or plastic tarp arrangements, most of which appear to be doing the job.
Waterthrush has full canvas for the flying bridge. So I am thinking I could leave that canvas in place, then tarp the fore and aft sections of the boat and she would be pretty well protected. Am I crazy?
So - experienced northern folks - what are the pros and cons of wrapping? Is the $600 worth it?
Thanks,
David
