helped a couple of friends do their boats last fall, so I will probably do
mine this coming winter......it isn't that hard......as long as it is not
windy and you have 3 people. |

| thats just the shrink wrap. the gun is around $400 and thats just the
cheapo propane bloe torch. the cheapest pack of shrink wrap for a 30'
boat was almost $200. you guys must have a good source of wrap plastic. |

| That's about right. A bit higher than down in mid-Chesapeake bay, but
comparable. |

auto plants. The gun.well I have to fess up....one of the guys on the dock was a
engineer in packaging, and when he retired they gave him an old one.....that
would cost about $1200 to buy new. :-) It did make life easier. |
