Home / Shrink wrap & winterization
Arkansas winters are mild until the one hard freeze that cracks a block. Winterization protects the engine; wrap keeps weather, pollen and debris off until spring.
Shrink Wrap: est. $12-18 /ft
Winterization is est. $150-450 flat, by system because outboards, sterndrives and inboards are different jobs, not different lengths. It covers engine fogging, fluids, antifreeze and system protection appropriate to your setup.
Shrink wrap runs est. $12-18 /ft, framed and vented; a 24-foot boat is about $288-432. A fall wash before wrapping is worth it, so the boat is not sealed up dirty for months.

Winters are milder here than up north, but hard freezes do happen and a cracked block is a four-figure repair. Winterization protects the engine and systems; wrap protects everything else.
Engine fogging, fluids and antifreeze, and system protection matched to your setup. Outboards, sterndrives and inboards differ, which is why it is a flat rate by system rather than by the foot.
Before the first cold snap, which on this lake usually means November. Book the optional fall wash with it so the gelcoat goes under cover clean.

Even mild winters bring freezes, rain and debris. Wrap is the most protective option for boats stored outside; at minimum, winterize the engine so a freeze cannot crack it.
Yes, and we recommend it. A fall wash means the boat is not sealed up with a season of grime against the gelcoat all winter.
