Diamond Shine and Geddy both do it properly without asking
they wrap down to your water line mainly to protect from UV. and then also allows better run off

if you are having someone else do it, make sure they do that as well, a lot will stop at the rub rail or even higher

I've used a fella by the name of John Sherkanowski for the last two years. I think he's out of Meridith. He came to my house and wrapped in the driveway. Did a great job both times and was $10 per foot. Not sure of any rate change this year. He also does engine winterizing on site as well as detailing. Only been boating for 3 years so don't have any experience with anyone else.

Whoever you get make sure they wrap down to the waterline at a minimum. This is not so much for UV as it is for rub marks caused by wind against your shrink wrap.

Spooner at Diamond Shine does it right!

thanks guys. $10/ft would be a great price!

I've never had my boat wrapped for the winter. It's always been stored in the barn.

Opinions on wrapping? I've heard horror stories of moisture issues and the vinyl etc.

Thanks.

should you put dryer sheets in all the compartments?
