Buildings and dry stacking/racking can pose many problems. First, upper boats leak oil, gas and who knows what onto the boats below. Second, you can experience terrible mildew issues with the stitches rotting out in the seats because of poor or no ventilation. Third and probably worst of all, rodents love buildings during the winter!
Metal buildings condensate compounding moisture problems. older abandoned chicken barns can leave a stench that you just can't seem to rid your boat of.
The most adverse is, during heavy snow winters, buildings collapse. How's your insurance? how about your 10 year old boat that you can no longer get a replacement windshield for? Even if you boat is cosmetically repairable, how's the integrity after a roof falls on it?
We don't have any of these derogatory issues with shrink wrap. Shrink wrap is the best method of storage that can be offered shy of a heated bay. We have our own methods of framing, moisture control, ventilation, and maintenance. It's clean, it's safe, it's cost effective.
There are some that would like to lead you to believe that this method of winter storage is not acceptable. Those same individuals offer shrink wrap as a service and also show up with wrapped boats at all the trade shows. Go Figure??
If there is more need for convincing, take a ride up and down our coastline. How many big dollar ocean boats can you count that are shrink wrapped.
Shrink wrapping is the right way to store your boat for the winter months.
Here's How We Do It,...
As you would expect we have held back a couple details that we deem propritary. Can't give all our secrets away now!
