Off Topic Has anyone shrink wrapped their own boat?

[rastam4n]

Considering the price I was given to wrap my boat ($535) for a 22’) I am looking for alternatives.
The wrap, the tape, the strapping and accessories are all readily available and relatively inexpensive. Just the heat gun is pricey at around $1000.
Has anyone attempted this. Is the heat gun needed or would a roof torch work?

I'd be a bit scared of the food torch plastic burns real good

I was going to shrink wrap my own boat
But the price of the heat gun deterred me from doing this.
going to grab a temp garage when I find one on sale
A friend of mine highly suggested to do that.

I just ordered one from Cover tech they seem to have excellent quality and a great warranty. Will post pictures when it arrives. I believe they are made in Canada also. Definitely better quality then the ones at Canadian tire.

Waiting on a price, two of us are considering getting it done. Storing at home.

I would think you would be $15 per foot to get a boat wrapped

Mine was quoted at $17 plus $50 for the door and then taxes

I have a big garage to store my boat but if I didn't I would go to NEM because that price can't be beat.

Shelterlogic makes those and they go on sale at places like Lowes from time to time. Usually list for a couple - 3 G. Payback on a boat your size would be a few more years https://www.rona.ca/en/shelterlogic-sheltertube-12-x-30-ft-garage-green-std-62811-330736785

Thanks that’s a great price and I don’t even need storage. Unfortunately I’m 140km away from you. I would eat the savings up in fuel hauling it to you.

The guy is coming Sunday, Nov 1st afternoon to my house. I'll let you know my thoughts after he is done.

 

[Dunnster]

We do it at work, you should be good with the roof torch.
