I pull my boat in September. It's early, but once the school semester starts my wife is crazy busy (she teaches at a college). My last boat (1998 Four Winns 245 Sundowner) only got a tarp, but my Trojan gets the shrink wrap. Bob from Beacon Marine did my F26 for $378 including a door, supports, and 5 vents. If I save my door and supports, he'll do it next year for $328. Bob did a real nice job (see below), and I thought the price was very good considering all of the shrink wrap these Trojans require.

It's only been 1 month and I'm already going crazy. I've already made up new dock lines, worked on some wiring, and started reading about handling single engine inboards. April will not be here soon enough!

Sunday was the day for "Keep it Up". Sad day but I'm looking forward to 2013. We had a great 2012 on her, she ran perfect and was a joy all summer.

It's 85 and sunny here in Florida today. I could have been boating if it weren't for this working thing that seems to get in the way.
I'll remind you all of this in a few months when we dip down into the low 70s

Hope the roof in your shed leaks less than the roof in mine. Looks like you need to something about your antifouling - is it all rinsed off or just a really weird colour under the water line?
