custom tarp
I had a custom tarp made for my boat to go around the shrouds, stanchions, mast and fittings. It cost $1,400. If you store mast up then this is a great way to go. Shrink wrap is good too but it is difficult to do alone and in the long run is more costly. If you store mast stepped down then a 40x20 boat duck canvas will do the trick. I do not recommend the cheap plastic tarps as they will abrade the gell coat and permanently stain plastic if it rubs on things. My tarp builder told me that the tarp should be good for 10 to 15 years with some maintenance as it wears. Replacing it will be cheaper since the labor to fit and cut the tarp will be eliminated. (the old tarp is it's own template.) Good Luck MG
