    Shrink wrap covers for winter

    I have noticed several boats this winter that have big white shrink wrap covers put on for storage. I'd like to do this next year but don't know where to get one. I have a heat gun and can put it on myself. Thanks

    I've got a few of these holes in my fiberglass hull where the white layer you see in this picture is busted off. Any recommendations on a white inconspicuous compound to cover them would be appreciated. Thanks!

    Pics of my faded hull

    Previous owner obviously didn't believe in using a cover. I'd like to bring some shine back to this neglected fiberglass hull. Anybody have any recommendations? I'm willing to put in work and spend money if I can make it look nice again. Thanks for any suggestions

    New Stratos Owner
