Has anyone ever shrink wrapped one? You see it done around here
when the summer only speed boats are put up for the winter. Big
sheet of heavy plastic fitted to the boat then heated and shrink
wrapped. It will hold up to 65 MPH is water proof. I'd get it off
hte car ASAP after the trip and cushion the paint some how....but
worth a shot. Better than getting a mody water soaked Spridget
back.
