To cover or not for Winter 2010

[Fortunamate]

we do not cover the fortuna and dont have any problems with snow build-up or ice we also leave the boat at a slight tilt bow up so that any water that does fall or melt it goes right out the back

I don't even take it out of the water!

i was late getting mine covered last year and had ice damage to my bait well and had to have it glassed. The boat is wrapped right now!

Nope, its a temporary structure.

Hopefully the winter will be mild so it will be very temporary, come on April!!!!

Just got the boat wrapped, $300 bucks with a door.

wrapped mine yesterday- $89 for the wrap- $29 for the banding- $19 for a few ratchet straps(way easier than building a wood structure, and reusable for whatever else) And 2 guys x 3 hours. P.S. Hoop did the swiss cheesy looking back

After building the frame, I can now get the frame up and cover on in less than an hour.

Seaworm, what is the wrap you refer to? Shrink wrap?
I have been thinking of ordering a shrinkwrap kit to use over my frame and on other boats. We got 6 in the family so the cost might be worth it.

shrink wrapping is fairly basic the first one normally comes out like swiss cheese but after you do a couple you get it down to a science.

This is my first year doing it. I got whatever west marine sells, and the process is not all that difficult. Supposedly you can re-use the stuff, but I have no idea nor the willingness to even attempt that.
