giving serious thought to getting a winter cover for our 42 DB. We winter in the water and the most stressing thing is finding someone to wrap the boat. Either no one wants to do it or no one does it well. If we stored on land it wouldn’t be a problem. But would add about $1800 to our annual cost. Not a big deal but I like wintering in our homeslip. No fuss to get out in the fall or to get in in the spring. In addition we have access to the boat all winter with full shore power. Got a quote for a winter cover that would pay for itself in about 5-6 winters. My question is does anyone have one on a DB and would it be too heavy and cumbersome to put up and down? Not to mention the framing. Have seen different versions of winter covers on a DB but not a full enclosure as I was quoted. As it is now I’d be lucky if my current shrink wrap makes it through the next blow.
