shrink wrap - The Hull Truth

Can anyone recommend someone to shrink wrap my boat. I am located in Peabody Mass. The co that did it in prior years went up 50 % which I think is a bit much.

thanks

is it true that white shrink wrap promotes mold and mildew? If so, why does blue wrap prevent it?

What are the going rates on shrink wrap? We're getting 10$ a foot but everyone else seems to be getting more.

mtcfish, I have a boat in Peabody also that needs to be shrink wrapped. It's a 28" Northern Bay downeast. Possible to do this weekend? Maybe you could arrange to do Paulb's on the same trip?

If I leave it totally sealed with shrink wrap, I do get mold/mildue over the winter. However I've found that if I cut a few vent holes in it, it lets the moisture escape and I don't have any problem with it. I also put the moisture pellet containers in the cabin and check/empty at least once or twice over the winter.
