Anyone do shrink wrap in RI? - The Hull Truth

Hi there, well the boat is winterized. Since B.O.A.T.S. closed up shop here in southern RI; it's now up to the DIY method. I would still like to get the boat shrink wraped, though. Is there anyone who does this at my house vs. travelling?

Jay, go to http://www.zap-enterprises.com/default.asp and buy yer own gun and stuff. I spent $900 complete for the gun kit, and enough wrap, tape, vents, straps, etc to do both my boats for 3 years. Worth the investment and let's face it, shrink wrapping AIN'T rocket scientry...

Thanks for the help. CMP, I almost picked one up on ebay a couple of weeks ago. But, as usual, the price went through the roof in the last hour. I think this year, i'll go back to the tarp. Picked up some of the strapping they use for the shrink wrap and a d-ring. That will be the ridge pole; which has always been my downfall. It stays tight all winter.
