Title: boat wrap
Post by: jjpp250 on September 09, 2008, 11:40:35 PM
I'm sure all you guys have seen that shrink wrap that boat builders wrap up new boats for shipping, I have to move one of my boats out of the shop to work on my project boat over the winter. I was thinking that it would protect my boat well. I have a good cover and a new canvas cover but Bobcats, skunks, raccoons and other wild crap at my house and dont want to have re-do that boat too.... If you guys know were to get that wrap or were I can go have it done Please lets me know, I will be head to Louisiana to place new phone lines and set around 4200 poles ( so thay say probaly going to be thousands of line crews there )  I need to find some thing prety quick trying to leave by end of week end

 Thanks Brad, It should be at my house on Sat Via DHL, $180.00 Plus shipping for 14'x180' x 7 mil. not to bad since you do 5 or 6 boats...... say  6 22' boats round to 25' to be safe@ 50-75 bucks === $450.00 +  Nice to maybe make some money for up grades and new parts from Tom., If I only had some time...  Thanks Again





 If any body makes out like a bank rober on this....make some money for me too..

 I plan on just put my canvas one over the top, I took off the top of my tunnal ram, carb and air scoop, and my headers today so their is no overhang, and probaly 18" of hight just to make things nice and tighty. Thanks for the heads up, How did it melt, what was it made out of? Last year a pulled my boat under the carport/awning atached the my shop with the canvas on, just to find out that it leaked right above the motor, and like a dummy left the drain plug in, water was almost over the oil pan and up to just under the dash, just had to replace the starter.

 Almost, I have not made it inside yet,  I have been using my little propane heater( the type that is like a little jet) It works alot better than my heat gun. The  ones thay had at ULINE were over $600.00

500,000 BTU weed buner ($90) turned down, be careful though it kick ass, used to do 25+ foot cruisers in about an hour.  BTW get the white tape if you can, less glue mess in the spring.
