Hi Michael, Sorry - I could have been a bit more clear. It's not that I'd expect shrink-wrap to last a long time, but maybe just be able to re-use it for a season or two. Someone told me that he does that, but then his is a power boat so he doesn't have a pole or stays & shrouds to deal with.
Can anyone offer experience on re-use of shrink-wrap? Regarding your canvas cover, sorry I can't help with setting a price. What would you expect it to cost for a new one, today? (Please let me know, for my own interest.) Considering the range between that cost, and the cost of shrink-wrap ($300 - $500), where does that put you? Thanks!

I've had nothing but success selling on there, but still don't know what price to sell it for. As far as shrink wrapping, that is something that must be changed each year; you pay a set amount per foot, depending on location. Here, on the north shore of Long Island, I've seen prices ranging from $12 - $18 per foot but shrink wrap is disposable and I've never heard of being able to use it again. > > One of the reasons I'm reluctant to sell is that the canvas cover can be used over and over; I'm just not sure how I would tie it under the boat while I'm in the water. > > Regards, > Michael > > > --- In [email protected], "PeterE" peteegg@ wrote: > > > > > > Dear "mlong9876", > > > > Well I think you (we) have come to the right place!
