Our shrink wrap cost increased from $800 to $1100 this year. We decided to still get it done, but a friend with the same size boat decided to buy a shrink wrap gun and all the supplies to do it himself on his boat. I helped out and it was not all that challenging. We'll be doing my boat too next year, for a maximum of $300 in materials. The gun and the extension wand were not cheap, but they can be used for years on multiple boats.

That is the way to go! Just did the Tiara last weekend 24'X50' roll was $230. The Wellcraft only needs 17' wide wrap, that is much cheaper. I am not cheap, but am frugal!
