.....you should have used a grey heavy weight tarp, some el cheapo cotton/nylon clothes line with a home made wood frame built high enough to shed the snow.....and you could have saved yourself maybe six hundred dollars or so!

If it doesn't shed snow and you have easy access to it, then that's no big deal ...... just pull the snow off with a roof rake or a snow shovel or your arm .... the heavy tarps stand up better than the light weight tarps to the snow, wind, sun, rain and can last for two or three seasons of re-use before getting worn thin or tearing up.

You would now be having about six hundred dollars more money, and your boat would be a very happy boat under its grey winter tarp.

For the guy who always wants the cheapest way out, FLL missed on this one.
Shrinkwrap at MVYC is about $300 for an average 24' boat. The price at other marinas must be similar. Anybody who can save $600 on a $300 job...(insert clever tag line here. Too many options for me.)
