Reuse of shrink wrap.....

[QT1]

Have read a few forums on the internet of people being able to save their shrink wrap and using possibly 2-3 seasons: Don't get it twisted, I'm not cheap, but If it can be used a few times, why not?

I got 5 years with mine for my 37 Sundancer. Didn't look pretty, but I saved about $1500.

Couldn’t imagine how or where I would store it....

The cover I made for my 340 when folded flat and neat stores in a 5x2 bag I made for it. Shrink is going to be harder to fold and store.

That's my intention. Doesn't have to look pretty. We have a member in our marina who has a fairly large boat and this was the first season he reused his. Serves it's purpose.

We have 2 warehouses outside of our marina, so storage will not be an issue.

What material did you use for your cover? My boat being 39.5 feet long, sounds like it would take allot of material

The 340SDA is about 37 feet overall. I used approximately 75 yards of TopGun material. It's approx 55 - 60 lbs total. I have yet to put it on as after it was done this year I went to put it on and found my boat already wrapped .

I also used Tenera thread and flat feld double stitches on every seam. This cover should last a real long time. Can't wait to see it on. Gonna have to wait until spring to get to try it on.
