Anyone try shrink wrap your boat yourself?
Seems relatively cheap once you have the tools. I believe you can sometimes reuse the wrap.

My boat is covered with a tarp, however next year I may consider this.

Re: Shrink Wrap yourself
I have shrink wrapped my boats for the last 6 years. Once you have the tools, the cost is about $50 a year for the materials. The shrink wrap is not re-usable. I clean my boat before covering and it is still clean in the spring......
