Shrink Wrap Film

Post by Peter3607 »

I am thinking about DIY shrink wrapping my 1989 Carver 3607 Aft Cabin. Anyone have an idea what size shrink wrap would provide the necessary coverage? Is 36' x 70' too big?

The 36' width would be nice... that would get you down close to the waterline, if not slightly below it. 70 might be a bit long though... I would think 55 or maybe 60 would get you all the way down to the swim platform in the back and over the bow railing in front.

If you plan it out, you could easily re-use your shrink for many years, making the cost-per-season cheaper than any other alternative out there.
